What Is UTM Builder?

UTM Builder is a tool that automatically adds campaign tracking labels to your trimy short links. Instead of manually building long, error-prone URLs, you simply fill in a form — where did the traffic come from, which channel, which campaign — and trimy builds a perfectly tagged link in seconds.

The real power: Campaigns. Create a Campaign in trimy by saving a name, base URL, and your standard tracking values (source, channel, campaign name). Every link created under that Campaign inherits those values, so your whole team uses the exact same naming. No more "campaign" vs "campaigns", no more "Instagram" vs "instagram" confusion. Consistent tracking across your entire organization.

Don't know what to name it? At link creation, trimy's AI suggests UTM parameters based on the destination page — one less thing to standardize by hand.

How UTM Builder Works

  1. 1

    Create a Campaign

    Set up a Campaign with your organization's standard tracking values once — give it a name, a base URL, and your tracking details (e.g., source: "email", channel: "newsletter"). All links created under this Campaign inherit these values automatically.

  2. 2

    Select your campaign details

    When creating a link, fill in your campaign details: where the traffic comes from (e.g., email), the channel (newsletter), the campaign name (summer-sale), and optionally a keyword or ad variation. trimy combines everything into a clean tagged link automatically.

  3. 3

    View in Google Analytics

    Your link now includes all UTM parameters. When users click it and land on your site, Google Analytics captures every parameter. You see exact attribution: which channel, medium, and campaign drove each conversion.

  4. 4

    Audit in trimy

    trimy's dashboard also shows all UTM parameters for each link, giving you a native view of campaign tags without leaving trimy. Compare all campaigns from one unified dashboard.

Real-World Use Cases

Multi-Channel Campaign Consistency

A marketing team runs a product launch across email, social media, and paid ads. Using trimy's Campaign feature, every link is tagged with the same campaign name and channel labels. Google Analytics perfectly attributes each channel — email vs. social vs. paid — without any manual work.

Affiliate Link Management

An affiliate network asks partners to use trimy for link tracking. Each affiliate gets their own source label, each platform gets its own channel tag (blog, email, social). All affiliate traffic is tracked in Google Analytics with perfect attribution to every partner and platform.

Event Marketing

A company runs a conference booth and email campaign promoting a webinar. trimy's tracking labels booth links, email links, and social promotions as separate channels — all under one campaign name. See exactly which channel converts best without any manual tagging.

Team Collaboration

A 50-person marketing team uses trimy's standardized Campaigns. Everyone creates links under the same Campaign, inheriting the same channel labels and campaign naming automatically. No more arguing about capitalization or naming conventions. Perfect consistency across all links and campaigns.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the campaign name and the keyword/term field?

The campaign name identifies your overall marketing initiative (e.g., "black-friday-2024"). The keyword/term field is for the specific product or search term being promoted (e.g., "winter-coat"). The keyword field is optional; the campaign name is essential.

Can I edit UTM parameters after creating a link?

Yes. Since your URL is tied to the trimy short link, you can change the destination URL (and thus the UTM parameters) anytime. Your short code stays the same, but where it redirects can change.

How do I view my campaign tracking data in Google Analytics?

In Google Analytics 4, go to "Reports" → "Traffic" → "Source / Medium" to see which sources and channels drove traffic. The "Campaign" and "Content" reports show your campaign names and ad variations. trimy links work exactly like any other tagged link.

What if I need additional tracking labels beyond the standard fields?

trimy supports the 5 standard campaign tracking fields (source, medium, campaign, keyword, and content). For any additional custom labels, you can add them directly to your destination URL and trimy will pass them through automatically.

Can my team collaborate on Campaigns?

Yes. Campaigns are shared across all team members. One person creates a Campaign with standard UTM values; everyone on the team can create links under it — ensuring perfect UTM consistency and aggregated campaign analytics for the whole team.

Do UTM parameters affect my short link performance?

No. UTM parameters are only visible to Google Analytics and similar analytics tools. Your short link remains short and clean — the UTM parameters are invisible to end users.

Perfect UTM tags, automatically.

Stop building UTM links manually. Let trimy generate perfect attribution tracking every time.
