When you sign up with BDOW! (formerly Sumo) 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. On the Your Sites homepage, locate the relevant website URL and select Manage > View Install Code. In addition to the embed code, there is a section that allows you to view and copy the SiteID itself.
The SiteID is a long string of letters and numbers and will look something like this:
684e729c9440d34406f14a3091a926b10806c5f772f39f28d911c4586ba7391
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>
Managing your site subscription status
Each site has its own subscription status, which you can view on the Your Sites dashboard:
Active status indicates that you have navigated to the site manager and enabled the List Builder application
Inactive status means that you have added a new BDOW! site, but have not started working with it (you must access the manager and activate List Builder)
You can also have a Pro status, if that site has a Pro subscription attached to it. Please see this article if you have questions about managing multiple sites under a Pro subscription.
Activating your BDOW! site
When you first add a site, you will need to access the BDOW! site manager tool and activate it. On the Your Sites dashboard, click on your new site and you will be prompted to activate.
Just click the Activate Now button enabled List Builder and get to work creating some great forms!
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 the Your Sites page and find the site you need to remove. From the Manage dropdown, select Delete.
