The workflow

  1. 1

    Create a preset for your issue

    Before writing your newsletter, create a UTM preset likeissue-42. Every link you shorten with that preset gets tagged automatically.

  2. 2

    Shorten links as you write

    Paste a URL, label it with the story name, pick the preset. Copy the short link. Repeat for every link in the issue.

  3. 3

    Hit send, then come back

    After your issue goes out, open the dashboard and filter by your preset. See which stories landed, grouped per issue, no spreadsheet needed.
