Campaign tracking with mutiple ? in url

Hi Team,

I have a question regarding campaign tracking. I'm using the ?s_cid=(campaign tag) code at the end of the url that leads to my website from specific campaigns. It works perfectly. But I have a problem with certain pages. Some of them already have ?lpi=13124311241 (some random numbers) or ?p_pubid=1074067692810&gclid=CIyb - It's a CMS thingy :)
So my question is how to track those urls (ie. www.abc.de?lpi=1234567) because puting ?c_cid= affter doesn't work. Should I exchange ? with & in such cases?

    Hi Pawel,

    Before I answer your question, it is important to understand how Adobe Analytics capture the campaign tracking code. In Adobe Analytics, Campaign tracking is handled by a plug-in called "getQueryParam". I believe that you have already configured this plugin with "s_cid" to track your campaign tracking code.

    Now to answer your question, the solution lies in the way java script reads a query String Parameter (QSP). In case of multiple QSP, I don't see any challenge in using the "&" instead of "?". The following example explains it better:

    www.abc.de?lpi=12345&s_cid=<Campaign Tracking Code>

    Hope this helps and don't forget to like it!

    ok I think I know issue.

    The challenge is your scode(main code) is setup to pick from UTM codes to then parse out and create the s.camapign variable.

    try this fake URL

    https://www.nycgo.com/things-to-do/events-in-nyc/dont-miss-this-month/december?utm_term=decemberevents&utm _content=calendar&cid=nycos_events_fb_f18_us_en_decevents_eventpage_20181116

    You will see how it starts to populate it.

    If its not in scode directly then you will need to look in processing rules under Admin.

    Thanks for the insight. I will work with the dev team to understand if we can pick up the cid instead of UTM to then populate the s.campaign variable.
