URL Parameters Page Filter

Your website URL includes different parameters? Have different campaigns set up you would like to segment users by? Well, now you CAN! 

Wait... first, let's understand what this actually means.

You can insert parameters into your URLs so that your URLs track information about a click and to identify the origin of the user. URL parameters are made of a key and a value that are separated by an equals sign (=) and are joined by an ampersand (&).

The first parameter always comes after a question mark (?) in a URL. For example, http://example.com?campaign=facebook1

The key in this example would be - campaign
The value in this example would be - facebook1

?key=value

If you are using this, why not create more accurate and targeted reactions?

Introducing: Web Personalization's URL Parameters Persona.

Now you can create reactions for specific segments, determined by URL parameters. Alternatively, you can exclude specific segments from a reaction.
