Users - Tracking codes and promotions

[Zaoui Bruno]

Hello,

 

I would like to test the tracking code of Ofbiz to store the origin (thirdparty) of the creation of an order and eventually associate a promotion and a marketing campaign to the order.

 

Could you please tell me what is possible and how to use the tracking functionality in Ofbiz.

hi,

i am trying to use the tracking code in "Marketing Manager". I am not sure how the it works, there is no where we can see the URL's to use for our pay-per-click advertising. As per Si Chen we have to kind of manually make the URL's by adding the 'atc' tag at the end of the default home URL. Can we not automate this, such that the URL's are generated automatically. Currently it appears that the one, after clinking a ad, will land on the default page i.e. http://mystore.com/ecommerce/control/main?atc=adwords and then will be redirected to the product page. Also is it not possible to make product specific URL's that support tracking code too.

If this feature appears is not present, can we open a Jira issue to request this feature which will be very helpful to all.

Thanks

You can pass the atc parameter to _any_ request, and even along with any other parameters.

David,

thanks for the prompt reply.

what are your thoughts on generating the URL's automatically, this will help avoid typo errors and a lot of manual editing too.

What do you mean by generating URLs automatically? From where and for what?

if I am correct, at present when one generates a tracking code, the tracking code has to be added to the URL like this http://mystore.com/ecommerce/control/main?atc=adwords, where 'adwords' is the tracking code. What i want to suggest is that once a "create new tracking code' form is submitted it should not only save the tracking code but also generate a URL like above, which can be copied and pasted wherever necessary.
