Common Problems and Solutions

Problem: URLs are too long

Solution: Use a URL shortener like Bitly or TinyURL after generating your UTM URLs. Keep the original long URLs in your records.

Problem: Special characters break the URL

Solution: The tool automatically encodes special characters. Avoid using &, =, or ? in your UTM values as they have special meaning in URLs.

Problem: Import fails

Solution: Ensure your CSV has the correct column headers and uses commas as delimiters. Check for special characters that might break the CSV format.
