APPLICABILITY + PREREQUISITES

Use this only for a click that reaches Wix.

Current video formats with a website destination. Video Action Campaign creation is discontinued and migrated to Demand Gen.

  • Use the real HTTPS Wix landing page.
  • Confirm the campaign surface permits an external website destination.
  • Keep campaign values free of personal data.
  • Grant the advertising consent required by the live site before expecting capture.

EXACT NAVIGATION

Where to configure it.

Open the current campaign/ad URL options for the format that exposes a Final URL. For migrated Video Action campaigns, use the Demand Gen campaign and its website destinations.

Platform labels can vary by account, objective, rollout or region. Use the cited current help page when the field is not visible.

VERIFIED TEMPLATE

Copy the correct output type.

utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=paid_video&utm_campaign={campaignid}&utm_content={creative}

Use the platform’s Final URL suffix or supported ad URL option. Keep the full Wix page URL in the Final URL field.

DYNAMIC VALUES

A synthetic illustration only. The local Builder cannot predict a real platform value.

EXCEPTIONS + COMMON MISTAKES

Test the actual campaign path.

YouTube views, engagements and native actions that never load Wix cannot be attributed as Wix visits. Migrated Demand Gen campaigns inherit Demand Gen macro limits.

Do not publish Video Action creation steps as current or count a view as a tagged session.

VALIDATE IN WIX

From resolved landing URL to customer action.

  1. 01

    Use the platform’s URL test when available, then open one authorized real click.

  2. 02

    Confirm the Wix landing page loads and the expected resolved keys remain in the address after redirects.

  3. 03

    In the same browser and consent state, complete one supported native Wix Form, Booking, legacy Chat, qualifying Smart Chat or Stores checkout Order action. Smart Chat requires the submitted contact-form path.

  4. 04

    Review only the values actually present in UTM Contact Attribution. Missing context can be a valid result.

The app does not call the advertising platform API, upload conversions, calculate revenue/ROI/ROAS, identify every served asset or stitch devices.
