Google Analytics Click-tracking for email from Community

Jeff_Perkinson

Here's a good article describing how to enable click-tracking from the email the community sends out.

This will give us an idea of which email is generating traffic for us.

I'd like to see this implemented.

Jive Analytics: Tracking Traffic from Jive Syst... | Jive Community

jonathan.bryant is this something you can work on?

Jeff,

This is setup for http://community.jmp.com/ emails now.

Any time a community remember receives an email from your community and clicks on the logo to the JMP community URL, it will be tracked in Google Analytics under Traffic Sources > Campaigns (System Email Tracking).

The real value will come in once you repeat this modification for additional message templates, especially Email Digest, Direct Messages, Document Watch, and other email templates that your members are receiving. If you append the tracking code to the URLs within those templates, you'll have a much more robust view into the email activity.

We just need to add "?utm_source=JIVE&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=System%20Email%20Tracking" to the end of the URL to track it.

Hope this helps!
