UTM Information	UTM Parameter	Description
UTM Campaign	utm_campaign	Recognise the associated campaign.
UTM Content	utm_content	Indicate the exact element the visitor clicked in your campaign.
UTM Medium	utm_medium	Indicate the channel utilised by the visitor for enquiring.
UTM Source	utm_source	Show the source of the visitor.
UTM Term	utm_term	Identify the targeted paid keywords within your campaign.
UTM {parameter}	utm_{parameter}	This custom UTM allows the agent to define the specific UTM parameter within the weblink. For example, if adding a member ID is necessary, the agent can define "utm_memberid" as a UTM parameter.

By using UTM parameters, you can track the performance of your campaigns and content and optimise them for better results.

📘

Please note that UTM Information supports enquiries from Weblinks of Direct Chat and Call Enquiry provided by staff agents. However, it does not support originating from Weblinks provided by the Social channels

👍

• You can manually add the UTM parameters to the weblink to collect the UTM information. Or, alternatively, you can use a builder, like Campaign URL Builder, to facilitate the addition of the UTM parameters.
• You can access the UTM Information for more details about your campaign, such as the source, medium, and specific content that drives the enquiry, aiding you in fine-tuning your campaign strategy for better results.
