New p202: possible to add multiple pixels for the same traffic source? (7)

New p202: possible to add multiple pixels for the same traffic source?

So I love the universal smart pixel in the new p202 but it seems that you can only add one pixel per traffic source/per user. This usually isn't a problem, but for some traffic sources (Sitescout, in my case) you generate a Different conversion pixel for each campaign. So as a workaround for this I just create a new 'Acct Username' in p202 under Sitescout & name it for each individual campaign & add the relevant pixel there.
This solution is kinda clunky but it works fine for conversion tracking. Problem is that I'd also like to add the Sitescout 'Audience' re-targeting pixel to some of my campaigns (in addition to the conv. pxl)
Unless i'm missing somethin there's no way to add more than one pixel to a Username for a traffic source in 202...

Does anybody have a workaround for this issue? Or is there any way i can create a "global" pixel (where I can add all my individual Sitescout pixels) & enter that into p202?

I would really appreciate any help/opinions on this.

Thanks guys!!

Hi,

I can't give you an exact timeline on this, but the universal smart pixel option will soon support tokens which will allow you to dynamically pass in stuff like the campaign id.

Everything you mentioned will all be supported plus more.

Thanks driv,

I was just trying to figure how to do this and found your post. I was confused because sitescout uses a different pixel for each campaign as oppose to say POF you can just use one global pixel...

Hi Mr Baffoe,

Does the universal smart pixel option now support tokens? I'm trying to use trafficvance conversion pixels but each creative has a unique pixel...

Thanks and good luck with Leads202!

^^^^
Or is this still the proper workaround?
