[GA4] Set custom campaign data

You can set custom campaign data in Google Analytics 4. Campaign data values can be set via parameters in gtag.js and via Google Tag Manager.

Note that if you have auto-tagging enabled, gtag.js cannot be used to override gclid information.

Set campaign values in gtag.js

To set campaign values globally, use gtag('set', ...) and add fields prefixed with campaign_:

gtag('set', {
    'campaign_id': 'google_1234',
    'campaign_name': 'Summer_fun',
    'campaign_source': 'google',
    'campaign_medium': 'cpc',
    'campaign_term': 'summer+travel',
    'campaign_content': 'logolink',
});

You can add campaign values in gtag.js for a specific Google Analytics ID with gtag('config' ...):

gtag('config', 'ignored12345', {
    'campaign_id': 'google_1234',
    'campaign_name': 'Summer_fun',
    'campaign_source': 'google',
    'campaign_medium': 'cpc',
    'campaign_term': 'summer+travel',
    'campaign_content': 'logolink',
});

For a list of all supported campaign fields, refer to the developer documentation.
