Why aren't my data elements populating with values?

I am working on implementing trigger views through launch. I have setup date elements for page info such as pathname, URL, title.

 

 

 

For some reason when I use these elements for my trigger view I get %pathname% or %url%. The only one that works is title. That populates the value. 

 

 

 

Why would my URL based data elements not be populating but my page title would be?

Your data element is named "Pathname" (as per the screenshot) but you are referencing it as %pathname%. Check capitalisation of the data element names in the references.

 

Otherwise, make sure the data elements are included in the library (you potentially could save them, but did not add to the library).
