Campaign URL Tracking

piwik_user1 April 17, 2011, 9:44pm 1

Hi,

I’m sorry if this was addressed elsewhere in the forum, I searched with no success.

Does Piwik have a campaign URL builder of sorts, similar to the Analytics URL Builder?

How do you all track the specifics of individual campaigns?

Also, do you use any URL shortening tools or link cloaking tools?

Thanks in advance

You can use google builder, but currently Piwik only handles 2 dimensions: Name (utm_campaign) & keyword (utm_term) - we hope to include 4 dimensions in the future: Improve campaigns tracking: URL builder, JS API and user documentation · Issue #1042 · matomo-org/matomo · GitHub
