Targeting Pages with query and without query

I need to target the homepage for an activity, but I'm running into an issue with URL matching.

The activity fires correctly when users visit https://example.com/, but it doesn't trigger when users land on https://example.com/?utm_source=source or https://example.com/?abcdefjkl (any URL with query parameters).

I've tried several different configurations, but none of them are working.

I've attached screenshots showing my current setup.

Hi @m_aadil_naina

You can use below options

Use operator “starts with”

This ensures your activity qualifies whether the user hits:

https://example.com/
https://example.com/?utm_source=source
https://example.com/?anythinghere

So as long as the URL begins with example.com .. it will match regardless of query strings.

2. Use query

For specific to query string param - you can use like below.

Or you can combine domain + query together

Please check which options useful based on your use case. if you still facing issues then please post it here.

Hope above helps.

Thanks

Method 1: When visitors accessed https://example.com/path1 or https://example.com/path2, the activity is present there (for any URL starting with https://example.com/). This resulted in unintended tracking across all site visitors.

Method 2: This approach only functioned correctly for specific query parameters, such as https://example.com/?utm_source=source. It failed to capture activity for URLs with arbitrary query parameters like https://example.com/?anythinghere.

Resolution: I successfully resolved the issue by implementing page name-based targeting instead.
