Manual vs automatic tracking

Tracking Performance

Overview

Every campaign needs attribution — a way to tie each creator to the results they drove. The basics are simple and free to set up.

Why it matters

Without attribution you can't tell which creators worked, so you can't repeat what did.

Step-by-step process

  • Unique discount codes — one per creator.
  • UTM links — tagged URLs in your analytics.
  • Affiliate links — tracking built in.

Log results against each creator. For a handful, a weekly sheet is fine.

Examples

As you scale to more creators and platforms, Impulze campaign tracking auto-pulls each post's performance so your numbers stay current without the daily manual check.

Checklist

  • Codes and UTMs set up day one
  • Results logged per creator
  • Automation added once it outgrows a sheet

Common mistakes

  • No unique code, so orders aren't traceable.
  • Manually checking every post daily at scale.
