UTM parameters for SMS campaigns

GA4 has its own SMS channel, but only if you tag the links. Short links also keep messages within character limits and DLT templates.

The template

utm_sourcesms

GA4's SMS channel matches source or medium = sms.

utm_mediumsms

Same value keeps it simple.

utm_campaignweekend_sale

The promotion.

utm_contentsegment_a

Which audience or message version.

In GA4 these clicks show up as SMS.

Tips

  • Register the short link domain in your DLT template so messages aren't blocked.
  • A branded short domain gets more taps than a generic one.

Common mistakes

  • Long tagged URLs that push the SMS into two parts and double the cost.
