With the integration of UTM tracking in the Email Center and on Elementor forms within your website, you can easily track leads and evaluate the performance of your marketing campaigns.
By setting up UTM fields within Elementor forms, you can capture valuable data that can be imported into the software, allowing you to analyze and optimize your marketing strategies effectively. The email center automatically adds UTM parameters to all links sent in manual and automated emails. The data is imported to the respective lead and can be analyzed utilizing filters and reports built within the software.
| What is UTM? UTM stands for Urchin Tracking Module. It's basically a simple code you add to the end of a URL to track where your website traffic is coming from. This helps you see which ads, links, or campaigns are driving people to your site. It's like adding a tag to your URL so you can easily identify how visitors found your website. |
In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of using Elementor forms to set up UTM fields, building filters to evaluate your marketing efforts, and viewing UTM data on leads in the software.
