How to set a referrer portal based on UTM tags

When a candidate applies the referrer gets automatically saved and can be found in the candidate detail view in OTYS. This behavior is decadent on the referrer portal (i.e. indeed, google etc..) sending the referrer in the headers. It might be that you don't want to be dependent on this and you want to set the portal based on UTM tags, this is possible!

To specify which UTM tags belong to which portal follow the following steps:

  1. Login in OTYS as a key user who has access to the CMS module (if you do not have access to the CMS module, please ask support to enable this for you)

  2. Navigate to the CMS Module

  3. Click the tab 'Traffic' and click 'Portals'

  4. Click the portal you want to bind to the chosen UTM Tags

  5. Click the checkbox 'Use custom UTM source'

  6. Fill in the UTM tags.

Note that all UTM tags here need to match for the portal to be set via these UTM tags.

For example when you fill in at google.com the following utm tags:

UTM source

google.com

UTM medium

UTM campaign name

google_search

UTM campaign term

UTM campaign content

When some one enters your website using these tags ie. https://www.yourdomain.com/?utm_source=google.com&utm_campaign=google_search

The portal google.com will be set as referral portal based on these UTM tags.

Don't forget to delete the plugin cache when you changed the portal UTM tags.
