How to reference a shortened referrer URL that redirects to a general URL in Javascript?
I have users clicking unique, shortened URLs that redirect to a general URL. For example, "referralURL.com/asdf" would go to "generalURL.com". I want to reference the unique URL.
window.location.href would give me "generalURL.com", but would document.referrer give me "referralURL.com/asdf" if I were to assign it to a variable?
