Build a campaign URL without losing the original link

Build a campaign URL without losing the original link: practical steps, handoffs and completion checks.

MeDash workflow illustration; no live customer data.

Start with the destination URL

Paste the full HTTP or HTTPS landing page, including necessary product parameters and the fragment. The builder parses the URL rather than joining raw strings.

Use one naming convention

Set source to the platform, medium to the distribution type and campaign to the activity. For two creative variants, keep those three fields fixed and change content.

Test the finished link

Generate and copy the URL, then open it and confirm the page and analytics collection. The tool adds tags; your configured analytics system records visits.

What to check in this workspace

For one launch, use instagram as source, organic_social as medium and autumn_launch as campaign. Use content to distinguish a story from a profile link. Keep spelling consistent; this tool tags links and does not collect analytics by itself.
