Links & Deep Linking

One of the easiest ways to integrate with Trailblazer is to leverage our linking options to send your users directly to the Outdoorsy earch experience. User sessions are tracked automatically and conversions will be associated with your account according to terms of your partnership agreement.

Basic Linking Structure

https://redirect.outdoorsy.com?odc_partner={{PARTNER_ID}}&odc_url={{DESTINATION}}&odc_locale={{LOCALE}}

Options

odc_partner - required - Your partner ID, given to you once your account has been activated. No attribution will be tracked without this param
odc_url - optional - Where users should end up on the site, defaults to homepage
odc_locale - optional - What locale your users are coming from, useful for making sure users see the correct language, defaults to en-us

Common link destinations

Homepage: https://redirect.outdoorsy.com?odc_partner={{PARTNER_ID}}
List Your RV Page: https://redirect.outdoorsy.com?odc_partner={{PARTNER_ID}}&odc_url=list-your-rv
Nearby Results: https://redirect.outdoorsy.com?odc_partner={{PARTNER_ID}}&odc_url=rv-search

Deep Linking

In addition to common page destination, you also have the ability to link users to specific pages for better conversion options, you can do this by providing an odc_url param in addition to other filtering params you'd like to use.

Linking to a specific rental

If you'd like to send a user over to a specific listing, you can include the path to that listing as the odc_url param:

https://redirect.outdoorsy.com?odc_partner={{PARTNER_ID}}&odc_url=rv-rental/mill-valley_ca/2017_coachmen_galleria_11014-listing

Pro Tip

If you're leveraging our INSTAsearch integration, the library will generate deep links to each rental for you. Simply use the included partner_url data attribute when building your search result template. Learn more in the documentation

In addition to providing a destination URL, you also have the ability to include additional params that you'd like to forward along to the final URL. For example, if you know when your users are interested in traveling, you could include a from and to param to your link:

https://redirect.outdoorsy.com?odc_partner={{PARTNER_ID}}&from={{YYYY-MM-DD}}&to={{YYYY-MM-DD}}&odc_url=rv-rental/mill-valley_ca/2017_coachmen_galleria_11014-listing

Linking to search pages

You have the ability to leverage url params for search pages as well. For example, if you know your users are interested in renting a campervan specifically, you could construct your URL as:

https://redirect.outdoorsy.com?odc_partner={{PARTNER_ID}}&type=camper-van&odc_url=rv-search

Let's break down what's going on there:

odc_partner - Your partner ID, used for attributing the conversion back to your account
odc_url - Where you'd like the users to end up on the site, in this case https://www.outdoorsy.com/rv-search
type - What type of vehicle your users are interested in, in this case a camper-van

There are many URL params possible for search, but some common ones include:

from - departure date for trip
to - return date for trip
style - drive/tow
keywords - think things like "airstream" or "vintage"
type - what type of vehicle you're looking for, there are specific types for this option, so be careful on this one
q - provide an address or location to search around, such as Denver, CO or Disney World, Orlando
