UTM Parameters

This article walks you through the Retainful's UTM Parameters.

UTM Parameters

UTM Tracking enables you to monitor link clicks from your emails using Google Analytics. This feature automatically appends UTM parameters to your email links before sending.

NOTE:

  • Google Analytics tracks conversions based on link clicks, whereas Retainful relies on direct data from your eCommerce platform.

  • Due to this difference, analytics data from Google Analytics and Retainful may not always align perfectly. In most cases, Retainful's conversion tracking provides more accurate results.
