Creating a Custom Event Property for Session Landing URL

Hi everyone, I’m looking to create a custom event property that captures the session landing URL. The goal is to determine whether a session started on the homepage or not. I’d then combine this with UTM Source and Referrer to better understand if the session came from direct traffic. I’ve gone through the documentation and tried asking kapa.ai but I haven’t found a clear way to do this yet. Do you have any guidance on how to achieve this? Thanks so much

"current URL" is an available property on "session start" event. So you can just use that property for your breakdown.

buy I want to set it as property of all the other events within the same session

You could then do a custom property which concatenates that property with the utm source.

To "set" it as a property on all events, you'd either have to report it on all events in your capture, or you could borrow properties from earlier events.

thanks, but I don’t want the current url of the event itself. I need the current URL of the first event in the session, and then show it on the other events in that same session too
