I'm trying to access Click event related variables in custom javascript. Click event variables should be so called built-in variables but still it states unknown.

I'm using following syntax which is supposed to get ID of clicked link and return social media action per ID:

function() {
    var some = {{Click ID}};

    if (some == "tw")
        return 'tweet';
    else
        return 'share';
}

EDIT: For me it looks like I'm using variables just like on this page / but what is the problem?

• can I just ask why there are no braces around your if statement? – Ben Davison Commented Jan 17, 2017 at 11:43
• There's no need for curly braces for single-line if statements, but I normally use them anyway for aesthetics, :) – nyuen Commented Jan 17, 2017 at 14:47

You need to make sure that you have enabled/activated the built-in variables before you use them, otherwise you get that error message.
