Customer tracking on connection forms

Learn how to add parameters to your connection links to track where customers come from — and use that data to create groups and trigger automations.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

myne allows you to add parameters to the end of your connection links. These parameters help you understand how and where customers were captured, and allow you to segment or automate based on that source.

For example:

https://app.myne.network/m/820ef5?connection=catering

In this example, the parameter tells myne that the customer came from a catering connection source.


Why use URL parameters?

Adding parameters to your connection links allows you to:

  • Track where customers were captured (Instagram, catering, events, partners, etc.)

  • Measure which campaigns drive sign-ups

  • Create groups based on acquisition source

  • Trigger follow-up automations

  • Share links inside other automations and track engagement

This gives you visibility into how customers enter your ecosystem, not just what they do afterwards.


How to create a parameterised connection link

  1. Log into myne

  2. Go to Settings (cog) → Connection Flows

  3. You will land on the Brand Configuration tab

  4. Scroll to the bottom to find your Connection Link URL

  5. Copy the URL

Once copied, add parameters to the end of the link using this structure:

?property=value

Examples:

  • ?connection=catering

  • ?link=instagram

  • ?campaign=summerpromo

A full example would look like:

https://app.myne.network/m/820ef5?connection=catering

You can choose any property and value naming structure — just keep it consistent and meaningful.

You can now share this link anywhere:

  • Email or SMS campaigns

  • Automations

  • Social media

  • Partner communications

  • Paid ads

  • Printed QR codes


How metadata is captured and stored

When a customer checks in using a parameterised connection link:

  • The parameter is captured at the time of check-in

  • It is stored against the customer profile

  • It becomes available for segmentation and automation

To view this:

  1. Go to a customer profile

  2. Open the Activities tab

  3. Locate the relevant Connection activity

  4. Click Additional Data

You will see the query parameters used during that check-in.

This allows you to confirm exactly how the customer was acquired.


Using metadata to create a Customer Group

Once customers have checked in using parameterised links, you can create a group based on that metadata.

When creating a group:

  1. Go to the Customers

  2. On the left hand side menu click Create new group

  3. In the group criteria, use the filter:
    Connection Form Parameters

You will then see the structure:

[property] equals [value]

For example:

connection equals catering

This group will automatically include all customers who checked in using a link with:

?connection=catering

As more customers use that link, they will automatically be added to the group.


Using metadata in Automations

Once you’ve created a group from your parameter data, you can:

  • Trigger an automation when someone enters that group

  • Send targeted follow-up messages

  • Deliver specific promotions

  • Personalise Dynamic Connection Pages

Currently, parameters are best used by creating a group first, then using that group as an automation trigger. In future updates, parameters may also be available as direct automation triggers.

As discussed above in the article, you can also include parameterised links inside your automation actions when sending a message to track which customers convert from specific campaigns.

A quick tip is to head over to our QR code builder and generate the QR code from the link. You will then receive a short link and can reference it within your automation action message by using the @ when typing and finding it in links.


Best practice tips

  • Keep parameter names simple and consistent

  • Use lowercase and avoid spaces

  • Plan naming conventions before launching campaigns

  • Use separate parameters for different channels to compare performance
