Re: Truncated URLs from Facebook Ad

@SanfordWhiteman : Im trying to figure out if this issue is device or browser specific. Is there a way I can know the exact browser and the device a lead used to visit the landing page.

 

I see 'User Agent' string {Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 8.1.0; Infinix X5515 Build/O11019) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/66.0.3359.126 Mobile Safari/537.36} in the filled out form activity but it is not giving the exact browser or device info.

That's Chrome 66 on Android 8 (so both browser and OS versions are quite old).

 

You can do lookups here: https://developers.whatismybrowser.com/useragents/parse/#parse-useragent

Re: Truncated URLs from Facebook Ad

This might not be the issue, but in the past we had found lots of Facebook paid ad spend coming through as referrals simply as "m.facebook.com" and similar - they didn't preserve the URL parameters.
