Campaigns and marketing
Attribution
Attribution is the practice of connecting an outcome, such as a sale, back to the campaign, ad, or link that produced it.
Also calledconversation attributionsource tracking
In messaging it usually works from something carried on the first message in: an ad click, a code on a link, a tag on a website chat. Attribution only covers what was tagged, so a customer who saw the ad and then typed your number by hand looks like they came from nowhere.
Worth knowing alongside it.
- Click-to-WhatsApp ads
- Click-to-WhatsApp ads are Meta ads whose call to action opens a WhatsApp conversation with the advertiser instead of sending the person to a website.
- Conversions API
- A conversions API is a server-to-server route for reporting outcomes such as leads and purchases back to an advertising platform, instead of relying on a browser pixel.
- UTM parameters
- UTM parameters are labels added to the end of a link that tell analytics tools which campaign, source, and medium brought a visitor.
