Understanding your BDOW! SiteID

Learn how BDOW! manages site-related information.

Written by Cassandra Campbell

When you sign up with BDOW! and successfully register a site, you will be given your first auto-generated SiteID. A Site ID identifies forms and purchase data for a single website. Essentially, it is the key for all site-related information, so it is very important. If the SiteID is applied incorrectly, you may notice that campaign forms do not display or add-on purchases are unavailable.

Please note that since it is site-related, a SiteID differs from your overall BDOW! user account (which contains your contact and billing information).

Information associated with a BDOW! SiteID

Ultimately, your SiteID is associated with the following information:

  • Your site URL

  • Any user information gathered from the site's campaign forms

  • Your site's statistical data

  • User access permissions for site management

  • Subscription status

As you may wish to use BDOW! on multiple websites, it is possible to have multiple SiteIDs associated with your user account. Each site is managed independently and will have its own set of forms and performance analytics.

Finding your SiteID

You can find the SiteID of a particular site by signing into your BDOW! account.

  1. In the menu, select Site Settings > Details.

  2. Click the View Install Code button.

  3. Scroll down and click the Universal Install Code button.

The SiteID is a long string of letters and numbers and will look something like this:

684e729c9440d34406f14a3091a926b10806c5f772f39f28d911c4586ba7391

For convenience, click the Copy Site ID button to put it in your clipboard. Sometimes, you'll need it to connect to various third-party plugins, etc. You will also notice it within your BDOW! installation code as the value for the attribute dataset.sumoSiteId:

<script async>(function(s,u,m,o,j,v){j=u.createElement(m);v=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0];j.async=1;j.src=o;j.dataset.sumoSiteId='684e729c9440d34406f14a3091a926b10806c5f772f39f28d911c4586ba7391';v.parentNode.insertBefore(j,v)})(window,document,'script','//load.sumome.com/');</script>

Migrating your SiteID to a new website

If you are thinking about moving your site over to a new URL, you can easily migrate its associated BDOW! applications over as well by keeping the same SiteID.

Deleting a SiteID

You have the option to delete any of your SiteIDs should the need arise. For example, you may have accidentally created a new SiteID when moving your site to a new URL instead of migrating (and therefore saving all of your previous site-related information). Or maybe you have a site that you can no longer maintain and you need to remove its listing entirely.

To do delete any of your SiteIDs or sites in general, navigate to Site Settings > Details and then click Delete this Site. Note that this action is permanent and cannot be undone.
