Pinterest Ads

Editing UTM Parameters starts another ad review process. It’s best to make these changes at night / at a less busy time.

Different campaign types need to be treated differently. Please implement the below changes carefully, so that all of your campaigns are tracked accurately.

If you are migrating from other attribution solutions, you can look at the specific section for other providers at the bottom of this document.

Catalog/Shopping Campaigns

Parameters

Below you can find the recommended Pinterest Catalog/Shopping Ads UTM Parameter logic for the highest accuracy tracking results:

If you are not using any UTM parameters currently, or want to optimize your existing setup, we strongly recommend using the following snippet:

{unescapedlpurl}?utm_source=pinterest&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign={campaign_name}&utm_term={adgroupid}&utm_content={product_name}&klar_source=pinterest&klar_agid={adgroupid}

If you have an existing UTM parameter logic in place, you need to append the following snippet at the end of your existing parameters.

{unescapedlpurl}?utm_source=pinterest&klar_source=pinterest&klar_agid={adgroupid}

Implementation

Currently, there is no bulk editing feature. Make sure to follow the process below:

  • Inside the Catalog/Shopping Campaign go to the "Product groups" section

  • Under Ad details, you find the "URL parameters" field

  • Paste the above UTM parameters into that field

  • Save the campaign

All Other Campaign Types

Parameters

Below you can find the recommended Pinterest Ads UTM Parameter logic for the highest accuracy tracking results:

If you are not using any UTM parameters currently, or want to optimize your existing setup, we strongly recommend using the following snippet:

?utm_source=pinterest&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign={campaignname}&utm_term={adgroupname}&utm_content={keyword}&klar_source=pinterest&klar_adid={adid}

If you have an existing UTM parameter logic in place, you need to append the following snippet at the end of your existing parameters:

&klar_source=pinterest&klar_adid={adid}

Implementation

IMPORTANT: Add the above parameters at the end of your URL in the "Destination URL" field. Do NOT use the "Ad tracking URLs" section.

Currently, there is no bulk editing feature, that works for updating the URL field. Make sure to follow the process below:

  • Go to the ad level

  • Manually go inside each of your ads

  • Add the above parameters at the end of the URL in the "Destination URL" field

  • Save the ad

Best-Practices

  • If you have a lot of ads you can filter for ads, that are active or were active recently. But make sure you’re not leaving any ads out, that might be turned on or duplicated in the future.

Migrating From Other Solutions

If you are migrating from Tracify or Triple Whale and your Pinterest Ads are currently using their URL parameters:

Tracify:

Catalog/Shopping: {unescapedlpurl}?trc_ptcmp_id={campaignid}&trc_ptag_id={adgroupid}

All Other: ?trc_ptcmp_id={campaignid}&trc_ptag_id={adgroupid}&trc_ptad_id={adid}

Triple Whale:

?tw_source=pinterest&tw_adid={adid}

There is no need to adjust your existing ads. Klar attribution is compatible with their logic.

However, we still recommend only using Klar's URL parameters going forward for the highest accuracy.
