   Hi there,

   Just tried to apply the script but unfortunately I get the following message error “Invalid tracking template”. My new url seems all ok but there are spaces in it. Can this be the origin of the problem?

   Thanks,

   Damien

      Hi Damien,

      “Invalid Tracking template” mostly refers to spaces in tracking template.
      Make sure the template “{lpurl}?utm_source=xyz……” is without space. Also, kindly check the updated script & do let me know.(I have fixed some bugs)

      Thanks for message.!!!

   Is this script tweak-able to accept a parameter with a string of concatenated values? I’ve tried adding in the following;

   ?track=google~{CampaignName}~{AdGroupName}~{ifsearch:{keyword}}{ifcontent:{placement}}~{matchtype}{ifcontent:c}

   with no joy. Any suggestions?

      Hi Ashley,

      Unfortunately, I never thought of the above scenario while creating script :/ . But if you have a developer, he/she can help with editing.

      Thanks,
      Ritwik

      Did you ever find a work around for this @disqus_3Q0KDX3IMV:disqus? I see now quite a few people would like to concatenate the values (myself included!). Cheers

         Hi Ritwik,

         I am trying to make utm_campaign=CampaignName_AdGroupName, for example: utm_campaign=ShoeCampaign_TrainerAdGroup.

         How can I do that? Thanks!

         Connie

   I think the script is not working on Shopping Ads (e.g. PLA)?
   What are the supported campaign types? And can you modified the script to support more campaign types?
   Thanks!

   Hi! I am not that experienced with auto tagging in adwords, but I am trying to set this up for a colleague. Would adding this: &utm_term={Keyword} at the end add the keyword per ad?

   Or would I be able to add this at the ad level?

   Hi @ritwikb:disqus,

   This is exactly what I’m looking for but get the following error:

   —————————————-

   TypeError: Cannot call method “split” of undefined. (file Code.gs, line 68)

   —————————————-

   Below are my Tracking Template details I added to the script to preview test:

   —————————————-

   var TrackingTemplate=”{lpurl}&mkwid={ifsearch:s}{ifcontent:c}{_mkwid}&crid={creative}&mp_kw={keyword}&mp_mt={matchtype}&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign={_gmscampaign}&utm_content={_mktchannel}{CampaignName}_{AdGroupName}&utm_term={keyword}”; //Example

   var _CAMPAIGN_CONTAINS=””; //Filter by Campaign name
   var _ADGROUP_CONTAINS=””; //Filter by Adgroup name
   var STATUS=”ENABLED”; //ENABLED, PAUSED

   —————————————-

   Any ideas to why this would be? (apologies not a coder).

   Cheers

      Having the same issue with this one:

      {lpurl}?pk_campaign={CampaignName}|{AdGroupName}&pk_source=google&pk_medium=cpc&pk_keyword={keyword}&pk_content={creative}&pk_cid={campaignid}

   Hi Ritwik,

   Thanks for the scripts! I tried to use it, it works fine on the preview, while when I run it, the result shows invalid tracking template, you know what might be the reason for that? thanks!

   Does this script need to run more than one time? Should I set the frequency to run more than once?

    Hello Ritwik,
    This script is still very useful!
    Do you know if we can have it also at the sitelink level?
    My goal would be to provide the following parameters: utm_campaign={CampaignName}&utm_content=sitelink-name:
    Unfortunately the track parameter only allows {campaignid} and not {campaignname}. Do you know of any workaround?
    Thanks a lot!
