PageView Click ID identifier: atclid
You can use the tracking TAG to generate Click IDs for offer links, form inputs, or even conversions.
By default, AnyTrack generates a click_id
for engagements such as OutboundClicks
, ViewContent
and FormSubmit
. However, the standar PageView
event does not trigger a click_id
.
In some cases, you might want to get a click_id
value out of the standard PageView
event so that you can use this click_id
value at a later stage of the funnel.
The PageView Click ID is usually used to set an identifier to a user.
Generate the atclid variable
The atclid variable is a Click ID generated using the current user session without relating it to any particular event. Use the following code to generate it:
var atclid = AnyTrack('atclid');
Please note that this code will work only AFTER AnyTrack TAG was loaded on your page. In order to verify the code is already loaded, you can use the script:
You can also use it to further do something with it.
AnyTrack(function () {
var atclid = AnyTrack('atclid');
});
