Mapping an URL parameter with an Adobe Analytics event

Hi,

We are using a querystring parameter variable (SearchTerms) to fire an event whenever this variable is present:

However, sometimes, this querystring value itself can contain parameters. And in that case, our event counter is being taking the numerical value which can be included in it.

For instance, if SearchTerms = http://www.canadapost.ca/cpotools/apps/track/business/findByTrackNumber?trackingNumber=7219580126638... then the eVar44 is taking the full value, but the event51 is taking as well the value 7219580126638943 instead of being a counter and being incremented by one.

The result in our analytics data is then completly false:

Can you help on fixing that in Tealium? Is there an easy way to fix it, without creating any JS code based extension?

Thanks,

Hasnene

Hello @hasnene

In this case do not map the value directly to an event, instead follow the below steps -

  1. create a data layet variable 'sc_events' (this you can be used for all SC events)
  2. using set data values extension
      • Set it to JS Code
      • map sc_events to 'u.addEvent('event51')'
      • scope it to SC Tag
      • use a condition when variable 'SearchTerms' is defined and is populated.

This will take care of it, Hope this helps.

Thanks!
