Is there a way to create a Marketing channel based upon a hashed tracking code?

A client of mine is asking if they can create a hashed / unreadable campaign identifier to hide campaign information like "paid" from plain sight the URL.

 

Meaning, they will have unique hashed values like for instance in a UUIDv4 format which won't be usable like that in the classic Marketing Channel rule builder.

 

Do you know of any way through classifications or similar to upload a list with campaign identifiers plus proper marketing channel attribution that acts the same way as if the traffic would have been classified with normal marketing channel rules?

If the tracking codes aren't identifiable then I would think you would need to upload some sort of lookup table for these codes. Either that or on the site have something that decodes them, then pass that decoded marketing info into an evar.

Yeah I was also thinking if you have a list of marketing channels and give them an ID which you can prefix the tracking code with, you may be able to properly classify the marketing channel.

 

The rest could be standard classifications.

YEs, there are no rules anywhere that email has to equal eml. you could have it be a unique number or unreadable code instead and still accomplish the goal.
