Upgraded URL value track parameter for placement Id

[Santhosh Neyyar]

Hello,

     We are upgrading a legacy account to use UpgradedURLs and tracking template and would like to capture placementIds. It appears that {targetid}  parameter will only return keywordId / DSA/audience Id . Is there a value track param that we could use to capture placementId ?

regards,

Hi Santhosh,

You can use the {placement} Value Track Parameter to get the placement info. Please see the "Destination URLs, final URLs, tracking templates, or custom parameters" section in the below link.

Thanks Raghavendra. Since the {placement} returns the actual placement (or website) we have to do a lookup in database to associate with right records. I would be assume this is the 

best workaround available as of now and there is no parameter that returns the placementId

Hi Santhosh,

Yes, that's correct. At this time there is no ValueTrack parameter that will capture the ID of the placement, so the approach you mentioned is the best option.
