That’s a good catch. If campaign IDs will be tracked then they will not be turned into campaign names. To be honest I missed that there is no parameter in Google Ads that holds the name of the campaign.

There are 2 options:

1. Configure parameters at the campaign level and provide the name of the campaign explicitly - easy but painful in case of having a lot of campaigns
2. Use custom parameters + some additional scripting to handle them. It is well described [here](https://www.practicalecommerce.com/google-ads-how-to-set-up-account-level-utm-parameters) in the “Custom parameters” section.
