UTM source not working? #17

Closed AlbertoMontalesi closed 1 month ago

AlbertoMontalesi commented 1 month ago

First of all, awesome project. I'm really liking it so far.

I'm trying to understand if there's an issue with UTM tags because i have a link like the following https://mysite.com?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=c_1 and i don't see anything coming up in the OpenPanel dashboard when i visit that url. Everything else seems to be working correctly.

I've seen your test come up and i've tested it again on a different browser. It's working fine. i think it might have been my ad blocker. I'll close the issue.

Hey @AlbertoMontalesi

I believe that utm tags are working, but might not work as you would expect. This is how it works:

If a session is already started and you then add utm tags to your link, then the session will not get these utm tags. So you would need to visit your site with utm tags when a session is created.

You could try open up a new browser (if you use firefox, then open chrome instead) and see if the utm source appears. I just tried with utm_source=github_issue_source and looks like it got registered.

edit: saw your new post now! Just ping me if you have any other issues
