How To Use Google Analytics On Your Campaigns and Websites

Mailcamp gives you built-in campaign tracking such as opens, clicks, and link activity. For Google Analytics, the practical setup is to use Mailcamp for email tracking and use your own Google Analytics setup on your website to measure what happens after someone clicks through.

What Mailcamp tracks natively

  • Open your campaign setup and make sure Track opens and Track clicks are enabled if you want Mailcamp engagement reporting.
  • You can also use a custom tracking domain for branded click tracking.
  • After sending, review your campaign reports to see opens, clicks, top links, and related performance data.

How to use Google Analytics with campaign links

  • Mailcamp does not appear to expose a dedicated Google Analytics toggle in the campaign setup.
  • If you want Google Analytics attribution, add your own UTM parameters to the links you place inside the email.
  • Example: add values such as utm_source=email, utm_medium=campaign, and utm_campaign=your-campaign-name to destination URLs.
  • When recipients click those links, Google Analytics on your website can attribute the visit and conversion activity using those parameters.

Recommended workflow for campaigns

  • Create or edit your campaign content.
  • Add links with the UTM parameters you want to track in Google Analytics.
  • Enable Mailcamp click tracking in the campaign setup.
  • Send a test email and click through to confirm the URL parameters are preserved correctly.
  • After sending, compare Mailcamp click data with your Google Analytics website session data.

How to use Google Analytics on websites connected to Mailcamp

  • Mailcamp websites integration is mainly used to connect your site so popup forms and related scripts can run there.
  • Go to Websites, add your domain, and install the Mailcamp connect script on your site.
  • Google Analytics itself should still be installed on your website using your normal GA or GTM setup.
  • Mailcamp's site connect script does not replace your Google Analytics installation.

Best practice

  • Use Mailcamp reports to measure email performance.
  • Use Google Analytics to measure on-site sessions, behavior, and conversions after the click.
  • Keep your UTM naming consistent across campaigns so reports stay clean and easy to compare.

A simple way to think about it is this: Mailcamp tells you how the email performed, while Google Analytics tells you what the visitor did on your website after clicking from the email.
