Links to ohdear.app now carry UTM parameters so we can tell which channel drove the click. Tracked domains live in
config/utm.php, so adding mailcoach.app or flareapp.io later is a one-line change.freek.devreferralblogpost-{id}-{slug}freek.devreferralcommunity-link-{id}-{slug}freek.devbannerad-{id}freek.devreferralvideo-{id}-{slug}newsletteremailfreek-dev-issue-{n}twitter/mastodon/blueskysocialblogpost-{id}-{slug}Campaign identifies the content, source and medium identify the channel, so the same post is comparable across newsletter, social and the site.
UtmTaggertags at output time rather than baking parameters into the storedhtmlcolumn. That keeps the scheme changeable without re-rendering every post, and it needs no backfill. Existing query strings and fragments are preserved, and a URL that already carries autm_sourceis left alone.Canonical URLs, JSON-LD, og tags, the public API and Filament admin are deliberately left untagged.
Two things worth knowing:
/newsletter/archive/*are attributed toutm_medium=emailrather than to the web page. Low volume, left as is.getMarkdown()runs are not swept.194 tests pass.
