I currently use a UTM tagging template that was created by the team at linktosheets. But I would like to be able to transfer it over to AirTable.
It should be a relatively simple project for someone who knows how to replicate the formula in Column 6 of this Google Sheet.
I haven’t mastered AirTable formulas yet, so I’m looking for help with this. Please let me know if you’re willing / able to help with re-creating this sheet for me.
This is pretty easy with just two functions & and SUBSTITUTE. The first function we can use to join the text of multiple fields and the latter we can use to replace the spaces with ‘%20’.
I didn’t add UTM tags for ‘Content’ or ‘Keyword’ but that should be easy enough. If you’d like to add removing a UTM tag if the field is blank I’d be happy to add some IF logic to the function above. Also feel free to copy out my table if you want to take a closer look:
This is amazing! I wouldn’t have been able to figure that out myself. Thank you @bdelanghe. I’m about to jump on a client call, but I’ll pop back in afterwards and take a thorough look.
Before I give you the formula, let me explain what’s added:
IF functions are wrapped around each UTM tag. You’ll notice there is no =, this because any text (except ‘false’ or ‘0’) will return TRUE. So each if says, “if there is text in this field, then show the UTM tag.”
REPLACE, is used to add the ‘?’ to the beginning of the UTM tags replacing the first ‘&’. All tags now start with this because we don’t know which will be the first tag.
LOWER, this one is easy just wrap it around anything and it’ll change the case to lower.
Best of luck! If you need to add new UTM tags. I suggest copying the formula into notepad and adding mimicking the IF formula replacing it with your new tags name.
This is great! I have one issue though, as I would like the formula not to print anything if I dont have a URL in the field, how can I add it to the code?
I’m not entirely sure, but I think maybe some bad quotes got you… Airtable is picky about those. Try copy-pasting the formula below, where I’ve fixed all the bad quotes, and see if that works for you:
