Using Google Analytics to Track Clicks

aijosh

I see the configuration option to track clicks with Google Analytics.

.1 What exactly does this do and how is it implemented.

.2 The website is already being tracked using Google Analytics (is the option in Acymailing's setting different from the already existing website tracking?)

.3 Would I be able to track the emails that clicked on the links via Google Analytics?

Hi,

Basicly it ads utm parameters to the links so you are able to see your newsletter click statistics in Google Analytics.

Oh.. Ok.
Thanks

Is there any step-by-step manual available for setting this up? I also would like to track using Analytics, but do not know where and how to configure this.

You only need to enable it in Configuration->Data Collection.

I found the option in ACY, But what do I have to configure in Analytics?

jvstratum

That's the good part. Nothing!

Is there any way I can troubleshoot this? I enable Google tracking in ACY, but the only campaigns that show up in Analytics are my Adwords campaigns. I do not recognize anything out of ACY.

Could it be possible that you are testing from an IP that you have configured as "own IP" in Analytics? In that case Analytics doesn't record anything for that IP.

If you have made necessary settings provided at https://docs.acymailing.com/setup/configuration/data-collection#tracking and the website already contains the GA tracking code then you should be able to see the stats in 4 to 48 hours (click here for reference)
