Keep users with a URL parameter in an experience

Hi!

I am trying to set up an activity that does the following:

Upon entry to the site with a URL that contains this parameter  PST_V2, hide two pieces of content (was using display:none to do this) and persist hiding for rest of session

That URL parameter is only present on initial entry page, it falls off should a user navigate to another page.

 

I tried setting up a profile scriptlike so:

try{
var mboxParam = page.query('PST_V2') || "";
if (mboxParam != "") {
return mboxParam;
}
}
catch(e){
// Error handling...
}

and then set up an audience like this:

 

I am not having any luck. What am i doing wrong? Thanks!

    If this helps anyone else....after a few more tries, i figured out what i was doing wrong.

    My audience was fine, my profile script was keying off the wrong thing.

    My url is formatted as such:
    www.mysite.com?param_here=PST_V2

    i was initially looking for just "PST_V2", when i really needed to use "param_here".

     

    Updated profile script to this and I was back in business!

     

    try{
    var mboxParam = page.param('param_here').toLowerCase() || "";
    if (mboxParam != "") {
    return mboxParam;
    }
    }
    catch(e){
    // Error handling...
    }
