Fishing out referrer/parameter

[bwill]

I want to make my goal tracking a bit more accurate. The goal is a webpage for the download of my software. I want to fish out when I send an email about a software update which also sends traffic to the download page.

The link in the email http://maillinkforward.encharge.io/ls/click?upn=u001.drnuY08Zuk69KrOpO3PopZpO1Kw7j6KMEBUP… forwards to Download Mail Archiver X.

Piwik does not recognise this as referrer but as internal search as far as I can see. As internal search this is however useless because I need to differentiate between different referrers for the download page.

Is there a way in Piwik to do what I want?

Hi @bwill,

Did you try sending campaign parameters in the URL?
You should then be able to easily find it in the campaigns report.
Here you can build your URL - https://piwik.pro/url-builder-tool/
Please have a look at this article - About the Piwik PRO URL builder | Piwik PRO help center

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Have a great day!

I don’t have any influence on how the url is created. The campaigns report isn’t helpful.

I wanted to retroactively improve my reporting. I’ll change the link in my emails in the mailing list to a direct download.
