This allows Google Analytics to track traffic and activity from all URLs in emails sent via ConvertKit.

With this data, you'll be able to better visualize the impact that email marketing has on your business goals!

This setting can be enabled from the advanced email settings page in your ConvertKit account.

Simply check the box next to 'Automatically append UTM parameters to email links':

Then click 'Save Settings' from the bottom left of the page. That's it!

From now on, UTM parameters will automatically be appended to all of your ConvertKit broadcast & sequence emails.

NOTE: Automatic parameters are added to links at send-time. So long as the above setting is enabled before your email is sent, they will be applied to that email's links (likewise if disabled before an email is sent).

The following UTM parameters are required, and will automatically be appended to each of your broadcast & sequence email links:

The source & medium parameters are static values. They will always be set as utm_source=convertkit and utm_medium=email unless manually overridden (see next section for details).

The campaign parameter will be automatically generated from your email's subject line & campaign ID, in the format <email_subject><campaign_id>. For example, if your email's subject line is 'Newsletter' and its ID is 1234, this parameter would become utm_campaign=newsletter1234 (unless manually overridden).

You can still use your own custom parameters whenever you choose to.

We won't override any parameters you add manually. We'll simply fill in any missing required parameters (if applicable) with our own.

For example, say you want to use a custom utm_campaign parameter for one of your links. If you include a link to https://mysite.com/link?utm_campaign=my_email in your email, then at send time, we'll only add the remaining utm_source and utm_medium parameters to it, like so:

https://mysite.com/link?utm_medium=email&utm_source=convertkit&utm_campaign=my_email

Note how the manually-added utm_campaign value remains unchanged. You can also override the other values in the same way.

Please note that automatic UTM parameters will not be appended to links in preview emails. To preview the final version of your links, you'll need to send an actual version of the email to yourself.

NOTE: We have a guide here on how to send an actual (non-preview) broadcast to just one subscriber (i.e. you) for testing!
