s.campaign showing null values

  • July 7, 2022

I have s.campagin implemented in Adobe Launch extension code for Adobe Analytics for s.campaign . When there are utm values , s.campaign populates fine, but when there are no values it shows in s.campaign it shows null values

 

e.g. s.campaign: null|null|null|null

 

How do I remove the null not showing in the debugger and in reporting?

 

 

if (!s.campaign) { s._utm_campaign = s.getQueryParam('utm_campaign'); s._utm_source = s.getQueryParam('utm_source'); s._utm_medium = s.getQueryParam('utm_medium'); s._utm_term = s.getQueryParam('utm_term'); s._utm_content = s.getQueryParam('utm_content'); s.campaign = s._utm_source + "|" + s._utm_medium + "|" + s._utm_campaign + "|" + s._utm_term + "|" + s._utm_content; if (s.campaign === "||||") { s.campaign = "" } }

Try this:

if (!s.campaign) {
    s._utm_campaign = s.getQueryParam('utm_campaign');
    s._utm_source = s.getQueryParam('utm_source');
    s._utm_medium = s.getQueryParam('utm_medium');
    s._utm_term = s.getQueryParam('utm_term');
    s._utm_content = s.getQueryParam('utm_content');
    s.campaign = s._utm_source + "|" + s._utm_medium + "|" + s._utm_campaign + "|" + s._utm_term + "|" + s._utm_content;
    if (s.campaign === "||||" || s.campaign === "null|null|null|null|null") { s.campaign = "" }
}

or better yet:

if (!s.campaign) {
    s.campaign = [
      s.getQueryParam('utm_source'),
      s.getQueryParam('utm_medium'),
      s.getQueryParam('utm_campaign'),
      s.getQueryParam('utm_term'),
      s.getQueryParam('utm_content'),
    ].map((u) => {
      return (!u || u === 'null') ? '' : u;
    }).join('|');
    if (s.campaign === "||||") {
      s.campaign = "";
    }
}

I'm not entirely sure why all your variables are being declared within the s object.... s.campaign is an actual tracking parameter and falls within the s object scope...

 

Things like s._utm_campaign do not... 

 

Same with adding the s object to the getQueryParam function... you shouldn't need the s object to be applied here.

 

I suspect the issue may come from a combination of these two unnecessary declaration into an invalid scope... there is no s._utm_campaign variable, there is no s.getQueryParam function, and by attempting to populate this way is causing confusion in the concatenation.

 

Try instead:

if (!s.campaign) {
    var _utm_campaign = getQueryParam('utm_campaign');
    var _utm_source = getQueryParam('utm_source');
    var _utm_medium = getQueryParam('utm_medium');
    var _utm_term = getQueryParam('utm_term');
    var _utm_content = getQueryParam('utm_content');
    s.campaign = _utm_source + "|" + _utm_medium + "|" + _utm_campaign + "|" + _utm_term + "|" + _utm_content;
    if (s.campaign === "||||") { s.campaign = "" }
}

Thank you very much. I was not using getQueryParam and that worked fine.

Try this:

if (!s.campaign) {
    s._utm_campaign = s.getQueryParam('utm_campaign');
    s._utm_source = s.getQueryParam('utm_source');
    s._utm_medium = s.getQueryParam('utm_medium');
    s._utm_term = s.getQueryParam('utm_term');
    s._utm_content = s.getQueryParam('utm_content');
    s.campaign = s._utm_source + "|" + s._utm_medium + "|" + s._utm_campaign + "|" + s._utm_term + "|" + s._utm_content;
    if (s.campaign === "||||" || s.campaign === "null|null|null|null|null") { s.campaign = "" }
}

or better yet:

if (!s.campaign) {
    s.campaign = [
      s.getQueryParam('utm_source'),
      s.getQueryParam('utm_medium'),
      s.getQueryParam('utm_campaign'),
      s.getQueryParam('utm_term'),
      s.getQueryParam('utm_content'),
    ].map((u) => {
      return (!u || u === 'null') ? '' : u;
    }).join('|');
    if (s.campaign === "||||") {
      s.campaign = "";
    }
}

Thank you for the concise version. Appreciate it. Very helpful.

 

Below solved the issue for me

f (s.campaign === "||||" || s.campaign === "null|null|null|null|null") { s.campaign = "" }
}

Unfortunately, this won't prevent s.campaign from resulting in "value 1|value 2|null|null|null" etc, IF not all UTMs are provided in the URL.

 

If you want non-values to be treated as nothing and not null, (i.e. "value 1|value 2|||") this solution won't work.. it really only covers the "all or nothing" scenario

After doing that change, I went ahead and classified the s.campaign variable to point to those values. See Screenshot 1. But, below variables are not showing any data in Analysis Workspace . It shows unspecified. See Screenshot 3.

The tracking code report is showing the data in Analysis Workspace. See Screenshot 2

Classification rules only process every 4-6 hours... and if you just created the classifications it can take up to 24 hours for the classifications to process the lookback window.
