6. Create a Campaign in RedTrack
Expand for guidance on the Campaign creation in RTOnce you’ve added your Website within step 3 a default Campaign for the unattributed traffic was automatically created for you. Your next step is to consider the following tracking scenarios:
Scenario 1: If you only need unattributed (aka organic) traffic, then this Campaign is enough for you and you don’t have to create any more Campaigns manually.
Scenario 2: If in addition to the unattributed traffic you also use several paid Traffic channels (like Facebook or Google or something else) you’ll need to add these Traffic channels first and then create a Campaign for each added channel. Thus you will have 1 Campaign for the unattributed traffic (created automatically within step 3) and another (or more in case of several Traffic channels) for the paid traffic. Use this guide to see how to create a Campaign in RT.
Tip for Scenario 2:
Your online shop will act as an Offer in most cases, so your Campaigns will have only this Offer in the Funnel.
7. Add universal tracking script to GTM
Expand to see how to work with GTMImportant preliminary steps!
1. Follow this guide on how to integrate Google Tag Manager (GTM) with RedTrack and the steps below on ClickFunnels-related insights.
2. Universal tracking script was created for you automatically once you’ve added your Website (within step 3). To find it you should go to Tools-> Scripts:
7.1 create a 1st party cookie variable: rtkclickid-store
7.2 create 2 types of Tags:
Essential elements:
- Tag = Custom HTML
- Triggering = All Elements (All Clicks)
Script:
<script type='text/javascript'>
function setFormClickIdValue(clickid) {
document.querySelectorAll('input').forEach(function(el) {
if (el.placeholder.indexOf('{clickid}')>-1) {
el.value = clickid
}
});
}
function getCookie(name) {
var value = '; ' + document.cookie;
var parts = value.split('; ' + name + '=');
if (parts.length == 2) return parts.pop().split(';').shift();
}
if (getCookie('rtkclickid-store') !== null && getCookie('rtkclickid-store') !== undefined && getCookie('rtkclickid-store') !== 'undefined') {
setTimeout(function(){
setFormClickIdValue(getCookie('rtkclickid-store'))
}, 3000)
}
</script>
Essential elements of the Tag:
- Tag = Custom HTML
- Triggering = All Pages (Page view)
Script:
Insert the universal tracking script which you generated within step 8 of this guide.
