Custom URL tokens (11)

Custom URL tokens

Hey,

We have a use case where we need to transfer custom data from our lander to the offer URL.
I've tried to pass an extra parameter as: ff-domain.com/?flux_action=1&extra-param=xxx. I couldn't find any way to parse it further and use it as a URL token.

I also read about the accumulated URL params but it's not really relevant for this case since we actually wanna use this token as part of the offer URL (e.g offer-domain.com/{extra-param}/...).

Is it possible to somehow send an extra query param when calling the FF action? then use it from the offer as a token?

Thanks!

Hey,

Yes it's possible and here's a general overview on how to achieve this:

1/ Pass the param you want as an extra parameter on the action link - it will be added to the accumulated params buffer

2/ Save that new accumulated param as one of your traffic source's tracking token for the current visit (here's how)

3/ Now in your offer setup, just use the tracking field token to add that value anywhere in your url

Hey,

Thank for the answer.
Yeah, I read the documentation and already tried before the process you described, it works well but the issue is that it only works when I pass the parameter to the landing campaign url (http://www.funnelflux-domain.com/?fl...ra-param=value). Then when I pass the same value from the landing page to the offer URL I can read it as a token.
Our use case is when we detect the information from the landing page or related to an input from the user, so we don't have it when calling the landing page.
Is it possible to make it work by only passing the parameter from the landing page itself? or is there any other way you achieve it ?

Thanks!

p.s

I actually try adding a PHP node between the lander and the offer with this code (just for testing):
<?php


include 'PHPNodeHelpers.php';
PHPNodeHelpers::updateTrackingFields([
'paramx' => 'xx'
]);


?>

When I'm using {trackingfield-paramx} inside the offer URL the value seems to be empty... am I missing something? I also tried to playing a bit with the different params names and enabled the accumulated params in the lander/offer.

Thanks!

Have you setup paramx as a tracking field of your traffic source?

Thanks! I'm using the latest FunnelFlux version (1.6018), it seems to be working now, after changing the parameter name and token all over (from country to something else) it seems be ok

I'm currently trying to achieve number 2. Save a new accumulated param from the landing page as a traffic source token. When I click on the link you provided it seems the article is no longer there.

How can I achieve this?
