JavaScript Referral Tracking
for Measurable Acquisition
If you run a custom web app, you need more than a share link. You need a reliable way to capture the referral visit, persist attribution, and connect it when the user completes your conversion step. This integration follows that flow using the SDK.
Accurate attribution from visit to conversion
Store referral parameters from the first landing, then connect attribution when the user completes your success event.

How JavaScript Referral
Attribution Works
Capture the Referral Visit (Landing)
When a referred user lands on your site, capture the referral parameters from the URL and store them for later use.
Define your Conversion Step
Choose the success event you want to attribute, for example sign-up completion or lead form submission.
Connect Attribution on Conversion
When the conversion happens, connect the stored referral data to the converted user so the referral can be attributed.
- -1-JavaScript Setup (Fast, Guided)
- Access to your JavaScript web app codebase
- A dedicated landing page (or entry point) where referrals arrive
- A clear conversion step where you confirm success (sign-up, lead, purchase)
- -2-Setup in Genius Referrals
- Capture gr_at, gr_cs, and gr_ro on the landing page and store them (commonly in session)
