Server-Side Tracking Implementation
Configure in DNS Provider
Wunderkind Server-Side Tracking is now available for any client. Implementation steps for Cloudflare-hosted versus non-Cloudflare-hosted clients are below.
Setup DNS configuration if site NOT hosted on Cloudflare
Please update your hosting provider's configuration to proxy requests for a new subdomain under your main site domain to our API.
Add a CNAME redirect in your DNS settings:
- Navigate to the DNS settings for your website
- Click Add Record to create the new subdomain record
- For Type, select "CNAME"
- For Name, please add a subdomain name "wd" (e.g. wd.clientsite.com)
- For Target, enter
cdnwd.com
- Lastly, save the new record
Setup DNS configuration if site hosted on Cloudflare
Please update your Cloudflare configuration to proxy requests for a new subdomain under your main site domain to our API.
Part 1: Add a CNAME redirect in your DNS settings:
- Log in to your Cloudflare account and select your account and domain
- Navigate to DNS
- Click Add Record to create the new subdomain record
- For Type, select "CNAME"
- For Name, please add a subdomain name "wd" (e.g. wd.clientsite.com)
- For Target, enter "cdnwd.com"
- Ensure that Proxy Status is enabled as says Proxied
- Optionally, enter a Comment for the record
- Lastly, save the new record
Once you're done, the UI should look like this (in this example, "track" was used as the subdomain):

Setup within Wunderkind Autonomous Marketing Platform
To set up server-side tracking in the Wunderkind Autonomous Platform:
-
Log in to the Wunderkind Autonomous Marketing Platform
-
Within the Platform, navigate to Settings -> Identification
-
On the Identity Graph tab:
-
In the Domain name field, input ‘wd.’ followed by the website you are trying to enable (e.g. wd.website.com)
-
Toggle the switch to enable Server-side Tracking.
-
Click the Save button.
The process may take a few minutes (~5 to 10 minutes) to complete. You can navigate away from the window while it processes.
Once Server Side Tracking is enabled, you should see the following notification at the bottom of the page.
-
You should also see a Complete status next to the toggle.
-

Confirm Server-Side Tracking is enabled
-
Navigate to https://tag.wknd.ai/your-website-id/i.js and check that tag_state_domain_enabled is set to true.
-
Mac users: Open Terminal
Within the terminal prompt type
dig wd.your-top-level-domain
. e.g., foryourwebsite.com
, you would type the following:dig wd.yourwebsite.com
. -
Windows users: Open Command Prompt (CMD)
Within the command prompt type
nslookup wd.yourwebsite.com
. -
The response should look similar to the below. If the response shows a line with the CNAME redirect from the client ‘wd.’ subdomain to cdnwd.com setup like the first line in this example, then the client has set up the redirect correctly.
