linkDownloadFileTypes
When trackDownloadLinks is enabled and a visitor clicks on a link, AppMeasurement checks the URL of the link for filetype extensions. If the link URL contains a filetype found in linkDownloadFileTypes, a download link image request is automatically sent.
Use linkDownloadFileTypes to customize what file extensions you want to count as download links.
Only actual clicks are tracked automatically. The following types of links are not automatically tracked:
- File downloads that start automatically when a page loads
- Downloads that trigger after a redirect
- Right-clicking and selecting ‘Save Target As…’
- Links that use JavaScript, such as
javascript:openLink()
For these download types, you can manually call the tl() method.
If a clicked link matches both exit link and download link criteria, the download link type takes priority.
Download Extensions in Adobe Experience Platform Launch
Download Extensions is a list of file extensions with a field to add more under the Link Tracking accordion when configuring the Adobe Analytics extension.
- Log in to launch.adobe.com using your AdobeID credentials.
- Click the desired property.
- Go to the Extensions tab, then click the Configure button under Adobe Analytics.
- Expand the Link Tracking accordion, which reveals the Download Extensions field.
Add file extensions to the list by entering text in the field and clicking Add. Remove file extensions from the list by clicking their respective ‘X’ icon.
s.linkDownloadFileTypes in AppMeasurement and Launch custom code editor
The s.linkDownloadFileTypes variable is a string of comma-separated file extensions. Do not use spaces.
If this variable is not defined, automatic download link tracking does not work (even if trackDownloadLinks is true).
s.linkDownloadFileTypes = "doc,docx,eps,jpg,png,svg,xls,ppt,pptx,pdf,xlsx,tab,csv,zip,txt,vsd,vxd,xml,js,css,rar,exe,wma,mov,avi,wmv,mp3,wav,m4v";
