Link Tracking, UTM Parameters and Engagement Tags
Workflow emails, bulk emails and campaigns share an Advanced Settings section that helps you measure results and trigger follow-up automatically.
The three options
- Link Tracking: records which links were clicked, by whom, and the click-through rate for each link.
- UTM Parameters: appends campaign tags to your links so your website analytics can show which email sent a visitor.
- Tags on Actions: automatically adds tags to contacts when they open or click, which you can use as filters or workflow triggers.
Turning them on
- Open a workflow and add or edit a Send Email action.
- Expand Advanced Settings.
- Switch on Link Tracking if you want click data.
- Add your UTM Parameters such as source, medium and campaign.
- Choose the tags to apply for opens or clicks.
- Click Save Action.
In bulk sends from Contacts > Smart Lists, the same options live in the Additional Settings drawer.
Reading the results
After the email sends, reopen the action and click View Details or Performance. For a broader view, go to Marketing > Emails > Statistics.
Practical ideas
- Tag everyone who clicks the pricing link, then start a sales follow-up workflow for that tag.
- Use a consistent UTM campaign name so reports group related emails.
- Tag openers of a re-engagement email to remove them from a win-back list.
Remember
Tracking works through links in the email. Make sure the important links are actual links or buttons, not images without a destination.
Good to know: Use lowercase, hyphenated UTM values. Inconsistent spelling splits one campaign into several rows in your analytics.
