Since Release of Train 116, Growing Number of utm_source = (none) #72
Comments
Previously we were setting Of course, whether it was the correct thing to do is another question altogether! The only places we set |
(this was the fix for mozilla/fxa-content-server#6258) |
It seems to me that in order to fix the bug we introduced with the email tracking improvements (landed last April), we decided to pull out the tracking all together. I'm not sure how we came to that conclusion. I'm realizing that our vidyo conversation with Shane is not reflected in that bug so the conclusion and next steps don't seem well documented. However, I can see that @shane-tomlinson was on the right path when he said (in mozilla/fxa-auth-server#2505 (comment)):
Let me recap the conversation and the content from the other bugs:
So, I think there is a misunderstanding here too. I asked for clarification here: mozilla/fxa-auth-server#2505 (comment) I'm not sure I understand where in the Adjust link you are setting this and what you are replacing. I would like to take a pause on this momentarily and get @irrationalagent to better document all the parameters and what values we expect to see when and why. We are starting to have regular confusion around utm properties and their proper values both (both within our team and with our reliers). Leif, engineering does a great job working documenting request parameters here: We should build on top of this and add the missing utm properties and the expected values for most common use cases. |
I came to that conclusion from the Vidyo conversation with you and Shane. I thought it was what we agreed on. Evidently I misunderstood.
I added it to the end of the URLs in these config settings: It is not replacing anything. It was already happening before because we were forcing
This would be helpful. In the meantime let me know if you want the recent change reverted. |
I'm pretty sure Adjust will just drop that param since they don't support utm param IIUC.
You have a busy quarter and I've bugged you enough with this metric bug for now. I will try to sync up with Leif before asking to make any further changes. I don't seem to have repo permissions to set this as P3 and assign Leif to it. Please do so :) |
Closing this in favour of mozilla/fxa-auth-server#2507, which is in the correct repo. I'll link here from there too so that the preceding discussion is not lost. |
This might not be a bug but I want to make sure that this is the expected behavior.
We are observing an increase in utm_source = (none) at the expense of utm_source=email which is declining. We made changes to this because email was over counting so it was to be expected. However, I was expecting to see the change for registration parameters but not so much for logins.
This chart shows an increase of login with no utm source:

Confirmation that it aligns with our train 116 release:

How confident do we feel in the new numbers now? Is this what we were expecting to see change? How would we explain the change in login utm params?
