Formulas / Expressions for Web Analytics (Brand Configuration)

Avatar

Level 5

Hi All,

 

I would like to be able to output the "event date" in YYYY/MM format for my google analytics links, which are set up in a brand configuration.

 

I've configured like below, using expression ToString(Year(context.eventDate)+'/'+Month(context.eventDate))

However, this returns the following error in the sending logs (with a status failed) when attempting to send a delivery.

Error while compiling script 'DM282[htmldefaultContent]' line 49: Year is not defined.

 

Seems I cannot use the date functions? (this type of expression worked fine on workflow worktable expressions)

 

Has anyone got any ideas as to how I can achieve event date in YYYY/MM for GA tracking?

 

Thanks

 

David

Could you try syntax such as below? 

 

context.delivery.messageType.substring(0,2).toLowerCase()+':'+ context.delivery.executionType +':'+context.delivery.campaign.label+context.eventDate.getFullYear().toString().substring(2)+'-'+context.profile.location.countryCode.toLowerCase()+':'+context.cusExternalId + '::'

 

It should work....

Although I have not tried, however, I have seen JS methods (and not inherent ACS method) working in that brand screen. So instead of Year() or Month() which are native to ACS, can you try something like getFullYear() and getMonth().

Please let me know if this actually works!

Hi @Sukrity_Wadhwa,

 

Sadly the functions mentioned above also are not supported... so i don't yet have a working solution.

If you or anyone else has any ideas, please let me know
