Utm params not getting tracked in the Shopify dashboard

Utm params not getting tracked in the Shopify dashboard

We are using checkoutCreate api to get the checkout url, and manually appending UTM params when clicks happen that should track in the Shopify dashboard but the link is getting changed and not reflecting the count in the shopify once we redirected.
Below is the URL we are currently 
https://thedivashop.ng/27201732651/checkouts/e27174ef08bd73af82ab9fdf38927aa1?key=ffdfeb33f28050ba01...


API URL we are using https://the-diva-shop-nigeria.myshopify.com/api/2023-07/graphql.json
and the body 

 

 

 

{
    "query": "mutation CheckoutCreate($input: CheckoutCreateInput!) { checkoutCreate(input: $input) { checkout { id orderStatusUrl requiresShipping totalPrice { amount currencyCode } subtotalPrice { amount currencyCode } webUrl customAttributes {key value}  } } }",
    "variables": {
        "input": {
            "lineItems": [
                {
                    "quantity": 1,
                    "variantId": "gid://shopify/ProductVariant/40187816345643"
                }
            ],
            "customAttributes": [
                {
                    "key": "utm_source",
                    "value": "WhatsappSales"
                },
                {
                    "key": "utm_medium",
                    "value": "whatsapp-sales"
                },
                {
                    "key": "utm_campaign",
                    "value": "WhatsappSales"
                }
            ]
        }

Hey @srinivascr1999 

 

Are you doing a fresh CheckoutCreate each time the values change?

 

Can you elaborate on "not reflecting the count in the shopify once we redirected."?

 

I just ran a test using CheckoutCreate with customAttributes and these attributes were visible in the admin once the order completed.

 

Moving forward, consider using cartCreate / cartAttributesUpdate mutations.

Yes, we are creating fresh CheckoutCreate each time, 
Actually, once we receive the checkout URL from checkourcreate API we are appending UTM params for the tracking purpose.  but when we click on the link, the format is changed and not reflected and tracked in the Shopify dashboard.

Checking if there's a way to do this that would reflect in the reporting. Will report back!
