About Tracking Code


Tracking code can provide you with data on how bookers are navigating through your web presence. Tracking code requirements and requests vary considerably from one property to the next.

  1. Send b4 your tracking code snippet(s). A prepared snippet saves time and can prevent configuration errors, as it normally contains pre-proofed property specific information.

  2. b4 places the code in chameleon™, but it is your web team or web supplier that must troubleshoot and provide remedies if the code is not operating as expected.

  3. Although most tracking code providers generate code snippet(s), b4 can also set up tracking scripts without snippets if you are able to provide documentation for implementation, normally obtained from your web team or web supplier.

If the code provided is a "Conversion Script" for the confirmation page only, chameleon™ can substitute variables in order to track the following:

Where is Tracking Code Placed?



After the tracking code is generated, b4checkin needs to know where the code is to be placed on the booking page. This tells b4checkin the “Tracking Code Type” for placement in chameleon™.

  2. The code will only load when the specified Rate Plan and/or Room Type Codes is being used for the reservation.
