HELP: I duno how to code (12)

---

Hi Friends!

i need a javascript code on my website which passes the FBCLID from:

1. the people who click onto my website from facebook

to

2. the people who click on button on my website to another website link (also referred to as Everflow links)

The following is a more detailed explanation:

''IMPORTANT: If you are hosting your own presell pages where shoppers click out to Everflow links, you will need to pass the FBCLID from Facebook into Everflow links in order for CAPI to work properly.

For example:

1. Shopper clicks on a Facebook Ad and lands on - https://coolstuff.com/product?fbclid=1234 (the FBCLID is automatically added by FB)

2. You would then need to write a script that reads “fbclid=1234” from the original URL and inserts it into the Everflow link - https://deals.getproduct.io/ABC123/?altdomain=product-coolstuff.com&gupix=fb.1234567890&fbclid=1234

This FBCLID is the primary identifier that Facebook uses to associate events back to your ads.The easiest solution would be to add a javascript snippet to the presell page that parses the current browser URL query string (reads what's in the query string), extracts the URL parameters and then modifies the Everflow tracking links on the page to re-append the parsed query string (adds the query string to the Everflow URL).This is something a 3rd party developer should be able to assist with if needed.''

Does anyone have such a script that i can add to my lander? I am using clickfunnels

So Thankful if anyone could help!!!

---

sorry thread closed as I have found the solution.

---

You can post the solution here if you want, so that others can benefit from it, or help you improve it :-)

My solution:

<script>
function getURLParameter(name) {
var query = window.location.search.substring(1);
var vars = query.split("&");
for (var i=0;i<vars.length;i++) {
var pair = vars[i].split("=");
if(pair[0] === name) {
return pair[1];
}
}
return "";
}
function go_away () {
location.href = "https://yoururlhere.com/lander?fbclid=" + getURLParameter('fbclid');
}
window.onload = function () {
for ( let link of document.querySelectorAll('a') ) {
let href = "https://yoururlhere.com/lander?fbclid=" + getURLParameter('fbclid');
link.setAttribute('href', href);
}
}
</script>


Replace your url in there and it'll automatically fix every link on page load.

Thanks Scotty, yes it is pretty much this.

@schlossy @ScottyG Hi guys. Can you please advise what to do if we are using Direct GiddyUp URL on Facebook.

For example:
https://deals.getphotostick.io/ABC12...-coolstuff.com

Do we need to add fbclid parameter in the end? and What is the fbclid parameter format? Is it &fbclid={{fbclid}}

https://deals.getphotostick.io/ABC123/?altdomain=photostick-coolstuff.com&fbclid={{fbclid}}

Please help. Thank you.

---

I don't believe you add anything, FB automatically adds the fbclid utm parameter.
I'm not positive and I don't run FB though, you can test by launching an ad, previewing it and examining the link though.

---

bro the full setup guide is on the "pixel and domain' section. use the url they auto make for you and copy paste the web code they provide to you on your lander

---

Thanks Scotty. This is what I thought. Let me see.

---

I have done the setup exactly like the documentation. It is tracking all the events - Add To Carts, Page View, Purchase etc.

My concern is why all the purchases are attributed to unknown. For example please see the below screenshots of my ad:



You can see all the Purchases are attributed to Unknown. Age is Unknown. Regions and Countries are Unknown.

My questions is when you are running Facebook ads with GiddyUp, do you get this data or it is always attributed to Unknown? Thanks.

---

yup always to unknown

---

@schlossy Thank you. I was worried that maybe it is just me.
