Script to Check Presence of Specific URL Parameters
Posted by on May 6, 2021 at 1:49 pmIs there a way to tweak the URL checker script to look for specific URL parameters? I have client using various reporting platforms & tagging structures (e.g. “CID=” and have gotten burned a couple times by not including or having them drop off. Also open to other suggestions – Doesn’t need to be a Script.

Analytics keeps track of all of those sources automatically.
or alot of really simple
if(window.location.href.includes(‘CID=’)){
// do stuff}

As a code-free cheat, you could use the standard [link checker](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/scripts/docs/solutions/link-checker) and tick the box for Save OK Urls to spreadsheet, then just set up a google sheets function to check whether all the URLs have the parameters you want (something like this: If all your OK Urls are in column A:
`=IF(ISNUMBER(FIND(“CID=”,A1)),1,0) // Put this all down column B`
`=COUNTA(A:A)-SUM(B:B) // This tells you how many errors there are`
or be a bit fancier and array formula it.)
Then run the URL checker after uploading any URLs

Surprised this doesn’t already exist, and thought it might be useful for others too – so I just wrote it 🙂
[Here it is](https://www.acuto.io/post/url-tracking-checker-google-ads-script), would appreciate any feedback if you do use it and it helps!
