Query String Parameters

Domain Mapping System supports query string parameters in your URLs. Here's what you need to know to use query string parameters.

Support for query string parameters is supported in the PRO version of Domain Mapping System.

Once you arrive to the Domain Mapping System settings, check the box at the bottom labeled "Support for query string parameters (e.g. - UTM, etc)":

Query string parameters have a wide variety of use-cases and formats, such as this example:

https://your-mapped-domain.com/?[trackingparam]=[value]&...

You might use query string parameters for any of the following use-cases and many others:

  • Google UTM parameters

  • Affiliate plugins

  • Prefilling form field data on a page

Query string parameters should not be confused with subdirectories or pages of your site, like this:

https://your-mapped-domain.com/landing-page/

Once you've enabled support for query string parameters, you should see the data "pass-through" your mapped domain, so data will be tracked in your corresponding platform for the primary site domain.

For instance, if you're using Google UTM parameters, you'll see the UTM tracking data in the Google Analytics Dashboard for your primary domain and not the mapped domain.

In the future, we hope to add support for query string parameters to mapped domains independently of the primary domain. If you need this feature, please submit a ticket.
