Source of traffic (without google plugin)

Need help
1

Hi community!
Need a bit of help here…

I’m building an app that users can create quick landing pages.
One important feature is identifying source of traffic out of the box (without them needing to setup analytics) in their logged area.

Any clue how could I achieve that?

Thank you.

This isn’t really a bubble question, more of a general web analytics question, and there isn’t an easy answer. Only way I can think of is requiring users to use UTM parameters for incoming traffic, but that’s a bit annoying as you can appreciate.

Thank you for the quick answer.
Indeed I’d like to move away from requiring users to adjust URL parameters.

Ideally they should be able to share their link (domaing.com/theirlandingpage) and that’s it. But if there is no way around it, I guess that would be the way to go.

I’ll wait to see if someone have another way to tackle this.

I’ve created many apps with drag and drop functionality in bubble including page builders, email builders, funnel builders with click funnels style features, and full multi page web builders.

I will say bubble hosting this isn’t wise, initial load speeds are slow, user editing isn’t user friendly, and domain connection is clunky.

I have multiple web builders that I have brought into bubble to bubble host editing but have setup to host the actual site elsewhere, most options already have what you’re asking for built in if it’s something you need help with let me know.

In terms of the finding the source traffic just use document.refferer JS call

Thank you Chris. Document.reffer JS seems to be the thing.
I’m not trying to do anything fancy as you described. Is just a redirect landing page to another site.
But it would be really important for user to understand the source of traffic.

Thanks for the solution .

And to wrap up… I found this plugin that works perfectly.

Just add the element to the page and get it’s “referrer” state.

Still using a plugin despite the topic :hugs:

It’s really not necessary. Just basic js object like @chris.williamson1996 said
