URL Tags: adding parameters to your test URL

How can I use it?

A primary application of URL tags is to accurately identify testers arriving through specific links. By utilizing URL parameters, you can craft unique links and incorporate relevant data about each tester, including user ID, name, sex, email, and more.

Using URL Tags in your link

Consider this example of a standard test link: app.pthwy.design/FJsMw2rdV9BcQctNi0aC

Now envision the same test URL elevated by custom parameters: app.pthwy.design/FJsMw2rdV9BcQctNi0aC?name=Tony&email=hi@pthwy.design

Sending this second URL to your testers triggers the recording of supplementary information in the report through response tags, such as:

Name: Tony

Email: hi@pthwy.design

The beauty of URL tags lies in their flexibility; you can incorporate as many parameters as you desire. Rest assured, all URL tags you integrate will be accessible in the generated report or within the exported .csv file.

Please, note

👉

You can only use URL Tags when sending the URL to your own testers. Unfortunately, they are not available when utilizing Pathway's testers panel.

The parameters code, customPanel, pwRespId and pwPanelId are already in use. We kindly advise against using these, as they won't add any supplementary information.
