UON Tracking URL Builder

The URL builder helps you add parameters to URLs you use in Custom Campaigns. When users click one of the custom links, the unique parameters are sent to your Google Analytics account, so you can identify the URLs that are most effective in attracting users to your content.

Using the URL builder

Fill in the form below and click Submit button to create URLs for Custom Campaigns for website tracking.

When you enter your URL, you need to escape special characters. For example, if your URL contains a string like topic=1638563&rd=1, you need to escape the ampersand, and enter that portion of the URL like this: topic=1638563&rd=1

Step 1: Enter the URL of your website.
