I'd like to be able to track visitors from transactional emails in Google Analytics, but I'm not sure what values to use for the UTM tags.

utm_mediumutm_medium should obviously be "email", but what about utm_sourceutm_source and utm_campaignutm_campaign?

Is there any good practice for that? The only think I'd like is be consistent.

By "transactional emails" I mean emails like "You've got a new private message", "Confirm your email", etc.:

  • You've got a new private message
  • Confirm your email. etc.
