You’d like to learn more about the outcomes of your marketing campaigns by using UTM parameters on your links to the client view, allowing you to link scheduled appointments by clients to a specific campaign.

UTM parameters (sometimes called UTM codes) are specific text strings that you can append to URLs that allow you to track those URLs when they get clicked on. UTM parameters make Google Analytics pick up on the data in the code and log it with the pageview.

UTMs are helpful tools if you want to know the source of activity related to your URL. Understanding where this activity originated from can be useful to determine if ad campaigns are successful, or if more visitors come from a certain link or website compared to other sources, among other things. For example, a UTM can be employed to understand the effectiveness of a booking link in an appointment follow-up email.

UTM parameters are tags added to the client view URL to pass along to Coconut for tracking on any appointments booked when using this particular link. This will help you to attribute appointments booked to particular pieces of marketing to gauge effectiveness.

UTM parameters will be associated with a completed appointment booked using the Modern Client View in Coconut.

The UTM parameters can be used in any combination.

For example, tracking source, medium and campaign together would look like this:
