Track Query String Params

Great for capturing referral info

Overview

Track when a page is accessed with a specific query string parameter, and store that value for later.

Very useful for affiliate tracking.

Implementing

Place this in the /BODY custom code area of the page you're expecting the querystring on; or in your site-wide custom code if any page could receive it.

  <script>
  $(function() {
  
    // Check the URL to see if we have any referral info to track 
    if (location.search != "") {
      console.log("querystring found.");
      const urlParams = new URLSearchParams(location.search);
    
      if(urlParams.has('referrer')) {
        window.tracker.track("referrer", urlParams.get("referrer")); 
      }
    
    }
  });
  </script>

To access the referrer code, you can just retrieve it where you need it;

window.tracker.getItem(`referrer`)
