Other variables, like Google Anaytics variables in linksYou can basically use any variables, but a common use is to want to track the actual user activity in Otto using %otto_link% and to track campaign-type of info in Google Analytics, then you have to know that %otto_link% will actually provide the first question-mark(?) that a link will need in order to know where variables will follow. This means that you will have to separate new variables with the ampersand/et-sign (&), so common examples would look like this: |
|
| %otto_link%&utm_medium=email&utm_source=otto&utm_campaign=Summer-Campaign | In this case, Otto will be able to track the user as normal, and you will also get campaign-information into Google Analytics, in this case that the medium is email, the source is otto and the campaign-name is Summer-Campaign. |
