The Marketing URL Builder

Tracking campaigns

To track a campaign, you add special URL parameters to your URLs.

The URL parameters are:

• mtm_campaign (campaign name such as mailing_2017_03 or Easter_Sale),
• mtm_source (campaign source such as google or facebook),
• mtm_medium (campaign medium such as email or cpc),
• mtm_keyword (campaign keyword),
• mtm_content (campaign content),
• mtm_cid (campaign ID code).
• mtm_group (campaign group).
• mtm_placement (campaign placement).

If you already have URLs tagged with Google Analytics parameters these are also supported:

• utm_campaign,
• utm_source,
• utm_medium,
• utm_term,
• utm_content,
• utm_id.

For example if your Ad URL or landing page URL is example.com/offer, you would track all clicks on this URL by adding one or more of the parameters above:

example.com/offer?mtm_campaign=Best-Seller&mtm_source=Newsletter_7&mtm_medium=email

Features

Reports for more than 1,000 campaigns

In the Campaign reports by default Matomo will only archive the first 1000 rows (your 1000 most popular campaigns). To report on all your campaigns you can configure Matomo so it does not truncate your data. For example to keep the top 10,000 campaigns edit your config/config.ini.php and add the following:

[General]
datatable_archiving_maximum_rows_referrers = 10000
datatable_archiving_maximum_rows_subtable_referrers = 10000

Customising your campaign parameters

It is possible to configure custom names for campaign parameters. In order to do so you have add config to config.ini.php file. If you configure any campaign parameter this configuration will overwrite default config for this parameter.

[MarketingCampaignsReporting]
campaign_name = "matomo_campaign,mtm_cpn,utm_campaign"
campaign_keyword = "mtm_keyword,matomo_kwd,mtm_kwd,utm_term"
campaign_source = "mtm_source,utm_source"
campaign_medium = "mtm_medium,utm_medium"
campaign_content = "mtm_content,utm_content"
campaign_id = "mtm_cid,utm_id"
campaign_group = "mtm_group"
campaign_placement = "mtm_placement"

For example, by default parameter campaign_name track following parameters if they are found in URL: 'mtm_campaign', 'matomo_campaign', 'mtm_cpn', 'utm_campaign'. If you configure campaign_name like this campaign_name="mtm_campaign,custom_name_parameter", then parameter campaign_name will detect only presence of mtm_campaign and custom_name_parameter in URL. matomo_campaign, mtm_cpn, utm_campaign will be ignored until they are present in config.
