Deep link tracking with UTM params

[Moorst]

Summary

I want to track utm params on deep links in my react native app. It appears that you can't pass properties to the context via the useAnalytics screen method - only the screenName and options which are passed to the properties object.

Is there a suggested method of doing this?

I also followed the iOS Deep Link Tracking Setup but this conflicts with the changes I made in the AppDelegate.m for react navigation:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
   openURL:(NSURL *)url
   options:(NSDictionary<UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsKey,id> *)options
{
  return [RCTLinkingManager application:application openURL:url options:options];
}

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application continueUserActivity:(nonnull NSUserActivity *)userActivity
 restorationHandler:(nonnull void (^)(NSArray<id<UIUserActivityRestoring>> * _Nullable))restorationHandler
{
 return [RCTLinkingManager application:application
                  continueUserActivity:userActivity
                    restorationHandler:restorationHandler];
}

Could you suggest how to update my AppDelegate.m to cater for both react navigation & segment in this instance?

Hi @Moorst,

You can add the line:

[AnalyticsReactNative trackDeepLink:url withOptions:options]; 

before handling your deeplinks:

#import <segment_analytics_react_native-Swift.h>

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
   openURL:(NSURL *)url
   options:(NSDictionary<UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsKey,id> *)options
{
  [AnalyticsReactNative trackDeepLink:url withOptions:options]; 
  return [RCTLinkingManager application:application openURL:url options:options];
}

We will also explore adding a method directly into the client to set these values manually.

Let me know if that helps!

That's helpful, thank you.

But in terms of passing the utm params to the context, how can I achieve that?
