Donatewiki: add device type to utm_campaign when utm_medium = email
Open, MediumPublic2 Estimated Story Points

Description

Right now, we don't have good data on which devices donors use to donate via email. For banner donations, we use substr(utm_campaign, 12, 3) , which is IPD/MOB/DSK as targeted by CentralNotice. On donatewiki, via javascript or the FundraiserLandingPage extensions, can we add those strings to utm_campaign when utm_medium is email?

@CCogdill_WMF , would this be useful or make things worse for you? @Pcoombe , would it be straightforward to do this in JS, or do you think the PHP extension would make more sense?

@Ejegg this would be so helpful! I honestly didn't know it was a possibility. I'm looking into starting a contract with a paid, closed source service to get the data but maybe we don't need to...

Yeah, I could probably add this with javascript relatively easily. Will have to make sure it's in sync with the definitions we use for banner targeting.
