URL parameters to event properties

Converts URL query parameters to event properties

Configuration

Option	Description
`URL query parameters to convert` Type: string Required: False	Comma separated list of URL query parameters to capture. Leaving this blank will capture nothing.
`Custom property names` Type: dictionary Required: False	Capture URL parameters under custom property names. The key is the URL parameter and the value is the property name to store it as, e.g. key 'fid' with value 'follower_id' stores ?fid=123 as the property follower_id. Parameters listed here are captured even if they are not in 'URL query parameters to convert', and the prefix and suffix are not applied to them.
`Prefix` Type: string Required: False	Add a prefix to the property name e.g. set it to 'prefix_' to get followerId -> prefix_followerId. Not applied to parameters with a custom property name.
`Suffix` Type: string Required: False	Add a suffix to the property name e.g. set it to '_suffix' to get followerId -> followerId_suffix. Not applied to parameters with a custom property name.
`Ignore the case of URL parameters` Type: choice Required: False	Ignores the case of parameters e.g. when set to true than followerId would match FollowerId, followerID, FoLlOwErId and similar
`Add to user properties` Type: choice Required: False	Additionally adds the property to the user properties
`Add to user initial properties` Type: choice Required: False	Additionally adds the property to the user initial properties. This will add a prefix of 'initial_' before the already fully composed property e.g. initial_prefix_followerId_suffix
`Always JSON stringify the property data` Type: choice Required: False	If set, always store the resulting data as a JSON array. (Otherwise, single parameters get stored as-is, and multi-value parameters get stored as a JSON array.)
