URL Parameters - Specify static Parameter in Header of Email

Question

Hello all,I want to integrate manually defined URL Parameters for tracking purposes. Therefore, I added a liquid code in the email settings as a URL parameter value that checks if the static tracking variable exists and if so to use it as URL parameter. I then added some liquid in the email to capture the values: Workspace settings > URL parametersKEY: utm_contentVALUE: {% if email_content %}{{email_content}}{% endif %} Email{% capture email_content %}sale_autumn{% endcapture %} Turns out, this does not work. utm_content is always empty. Is there any chance I can make this work? Notes: I don’t want to use {{message.name}} or {{campaign.name}} and I tried it with “assign” instead of “capture”. Thank for your help 😉

Hey Felix,Byron here from the Customer.io technical support team.From what I can determine, it won’t be possible to include email content in global UTM parameters. Our docs provide a list of the liquid tags that are available to use for UTM params at this time:https://customer.io/docs/url-parameters/#can-i-use-liquid-here.There is a workaround you can try to see if it works for you.On links that you want to include utm_content, add thedisable-url-params class:https://customer.io/docs/url-parameters/#can-i-set-these-per-message.The class only disables global parameters and will allow you to manually set your own URL parameters that do not have the same limitations as globalparameters in workspace settings.Example:{% assign email_content = 'autumn_sale' %}a link with utm contentResult from a test email:https://www.example.com/?utm_content=autumn_sale
