Hello @nicoter.
Could you please describe in more detail your issue?
Hi @intelahelp
The goal is to track conversion with e.g. Microsoft advertising (Bing ads).
When auto-tagging of MSCLKID is enabled, the URL will contain a unique ID named MSCLKID which can be stored in a cookie. Next I need to pass the value of the MSCLKID as context variable to the Watson assistant so I can save it with the conversations (which get sent to to our email).
Thanks
Hello @nicoter.
All context variables are stored in your browser’s Local Storage, so to add new ones you don’t need to save a unique identifier with the name MSCLKID in a cookie. It can be immediately added to the object with context variables using JavaScript code, for example, you can add the following code to your site:
window.onload = function(){
// get current url
let currentUrl = window.location.href;
let url = new URL(currentUrl);
// get access to URLSearchParams object
let search_params = url.searchParams;
// get url parameter value of the MSCLKID
let msclkid = search_params.get('MSCLKID');
if(msclkid) {
// get Local Storage item 'watson_bot_state'
let watsonBotState = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('watson_bot_state'));
// get context variables object from 'watson_bot_state'
let contextVariables = watsonBotState.context.skills['main skill'].user_defined;
// adding new context variables
contextVariables.MSCLKID = msclkid;
// rewriting Local Storage item 'watson_bot_state' with a new context variable
localStorage.setItem('watson_bot_state', JSON.stringify(watsonBotState));
}
}

Hi,
Thanks for the code and explanation.
I didn’t test it yet as we were considering moving away from IBM Watson because of the serious performance issues.
Since this has been resolved to some degree (pages with the chatbot window are still very slow), I’ll look into this soon.
Thanks for your patience and help!
Thank you for letting us know.
