Adding site parameters to analytics json

Hello @leflores

Thank you for contacting us, If you are using a highly customized solution, We will recommend creating a custom endpoint and using that as a config, the response would be configuration json.

eg:
<amp-analytics config="https://example.com/analytics.config.json"></amp-analytics>

If you wanted to pass one or two values, you can use the amp_analytics_entries filter to search and replace them.

eg:

add_filter(
	'amp_analytics_entries',
	function ( $analytics_entries ) {

		$author_name = ( ! empty( get_the_author_meta( 'first_name' ) ) ) ? get_the_author_meta( 'first_name' ) : get_the_author_meta( 'display_name' );

		if ( empty( $analytics_entries ) || empty( $author_name ) ) {
			return $analytics_entries;
		}
		
		foreach ( $analytics_entries as &$analytics_entry ) {
			if ( isset( $analytics_entry['type'] ) && 'yourcustomtype' === $analytics_entry['type'] ) {
				$analytics_entry['config'] = str_replace( '/%author%/', $author_name, $analytics_entry['config'] );
			}
		}
		return $analytics_entries;
	}
);

Hope this helps!

I just realized that I forgot to mention JSON config changes. you need to add %author% in where you want your author name.

{
	"requests": {
		"pageview": "https://myanalytics.com/event?page_author=${article_authors}"
	},
	"vars": {
		"article_author": "%author%"
	},

	"triggers": {
		"trackPageview": {
			"on": "visible",
			"request": "pageview"
		}

	},
	"transport": {
		"beacon": false,
		"xhrpost": false,
		"image": true
	}
}
