Create and apply on Starter and above; saved templates stay visible on every plan.
UTM parameters (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term, utm_content) tell your website analytics where a visitor came from. Templates let you apply a consistent set in one click.
- Go to Settings → UTM templates → New template.
- Name it (for example "WhatsApp broadcast", names are unique in a workspace) and fill at least one field:
utm_source=whatsapp,utm_medium=messaging,utm_campaign={{campaign}}. - Save. When creating or editing a link, pick the template under UTM parameters; the fields fill in and stay editable.
{{campaign}}becomes the link's campaign,{{slug}}its slug and{{domain}}its domain. Any other placeholder is rejected. - Existing parameters in the destination are kept unless the template overrides them. URLCrop's own
ucidparameter is always added last. - Editing or deleting a template does not change links and campaigns that already used it.
Workspace Owners, Admins and Editors can manage templates; Viewers can read them. If your plan does not include link controls, the picker is locked with an upgrade prompt. You can also attach a template to a campaign.
Tips
- Keep values lowercase and free of spaces; your analytics tool treats
WhatsAppandwhatsappas different sources. - The UTM builder free tool at urlcrop.com/tools/utm-builder runs entirely in your browser and stores nothing; to turn the result into a tracked short link, sign in and paste it into New link.
