trackEventPageView not working?

[Bukashk0zzz]

Before, I have done similar. The tag replicated web requests, and they were visible inside HubSpot.
I don't have any additional info or insights. Sorry.

Hi @Bukashk0zzz, this week at the company I work for we tried to implement your script for page views, after a few days of testing and reading the Hubspot script code we made it work, could I make a fix for you to review? The main issue revolved around not having request headers.

We've also managed to also send a user token as a parameter to recognize contacts.

@Bukashk0zzz great! happy to help :)

Hi, you are right, and it no longer works. I will remove this method from the tag.

@Bukashk0zzz If you have any tips to share on what would be required to make it work I can prepare a fix for you to review.

I tried to imitate server calls, but none of them made it to Hubspot's reports.

[Bukashk0zzz]

Checked once again and removed PageView tracking from the tag.

[Bukashk0zzz]

Sure. Send PR or code here I will review it.
Thanks for posting the info. @emilianorios1

function trackPageViewEvent() {
  let url = 'https://track.hubspot.com/__ptq.gif?k=1&v=1.1&bfp=309846428&ct=' + encodeUriComponent('standard-page');
  if (data.accountId) url = url + '&a=' + encodeUriComponent(data.accountId);
  if (eventData.client_id) url = url + '&vi=' + encodeUriComponent(eventData.client_id);
  if (eventData.client_id) url = url + '&u=' + encodeUriComponent(eventData.client_id);
  if (eventData.ga_session_id) url = url + '&b=' + encodeUriComponent(eventData.ga_session_id);
  if (eventData.page_referrer) url = url + '&r=' + encodeUriComponent(eventData.page_referrer);
  if (eventData.page_title) url = url + '&t=' + encodeUriComponent(eventData.page_title);
  if (eventData.page_location) url = url + '&pu=' + encodeUriComponent(eventData.page_location);
  if (eventData.screen_resolution) url = url + '&sd=' + encodeUriComponent(eventData.screen_resolution);
  if (eventData.page_encoding) url = url + '&cs=' + encodeUriComponent(eventData.page_encoding);

  logRequest('page_view', 'GET', url, '');

  sendHttpRequest(url, (statusCode, headers, body) => {
    logResponse(statusCode, headers, body, 'page_view');

    if (statusCode >= 200 && statusCode < 300) {
      data.gtmOnSuccess();
    } else {
      data.gtmOnFailure();
    }
  }, {headers: {'User-Agent': eventData.user_agent}, method: 'GET', timeout: 3500});
}

Our hypothesis is that the requests made by your old code were not processed by HubSpot because it did not send request headers, we tried with the same headers you use for the custom behavioral events and couldn't make it work.

We then had success sending the user_agent in the headers to imitate a request made from a website and after checking the code that HubSpot script loads we concluded that the fields &vi, &u and &b were used to recognize the user token and the session.

What I'm not really sure is if this works in every implementation, since we use Snowplow as our Client I think the client_id and ga_session_id could change when implementing other Clients.

@emilianorios1 look like all is fine. we added this functionality to the template

Hi,

The latest fix did not work for me. Same problem as originally reported: status 200 but no data shows up inside HubSpot. @emilianorios1 Does your fix still work for you? I am using Google Analytics 4 as the Client. I tried adding additional accept headers but that did not work. The latest fix does not include the bfp parameter by the way. I'm not sure what its function is.
