How to build UTM conventions in UTM.io?
How to use Dynamic Variables to build advanced UTM conventions:
UTM.io allows you to build UTM conventions using dynamic variables.
Let's say you want to create the following UTM campaign convention for one of your campaigns.
UTM Campaign | {{campaign name}}-{{Sales region}}-{{goal}} |
UTM Medium | |
UTM Source | mailchimp |
Building this UTM convention using dynamic variables is very easy using UTM.io.
You can easily create conventions using dynamic variables like {{region}} and {{goal}}
Here is how it is done:
- Type in summer in the campaign field.
- Add -{{region}}-{{goal}} after ‘summer’ in the campaign field.
- Type in email in medium and Mailchimp in source
- Select values for sales region and goal. In this case, we have selected the sales region as ‘DE’ and the goal as ‘awareness’.
- The builder will automatically select the values in 'sales region' and 'goal' to create the link
- Here is a screenshot showing all the components in the link builder.

Pro Tip: Attributes vs Parameters
- UTM.io allows you to create conventions using parameters, attributes, and a combination of both of these fields.
- The difference between the two fields is that a parameter will show on the url but the attribute only shows up on the dashboard and is not a part of the link itself.
- For this example, we will use both a parameter and an attribute to build a UTM convention.
Creating a new parameter and attribute with drop-down values:
First, we need to add the sales region and goal as a parameter and attribute respectively.
Sales region -> parameter
The newly created parameter ‘sales’ is categorized into four components: US, UK, EMEA, and DE.
Goal -> attribute
The newly created attribute ‘Goal’ is further categorized into three components: awareness, branding, and lead generation.
