Google Analytics

The Google Analytics addon connects your Mumara email engagement to your own Google Analytics 4 property, so the people opening your emails and clicking your links show up in the analytics you already use.

It works in two complementary ways. Most accounts want the first; the second is an optional advanced layer.

Mumara automatically adds UTM parameters (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_content, utm_term) to the links in your emails. When a recipient clicks through to your website, the Google Analytics tag already on your site reads those parameters and attributes the visit — and any conversions or revenue — to your email campaign.

  • No credentials required. It works with the Google Analytics you already have on your site.
  • Shows up in GA's standard Traffic acquisition and Campaign reports.
  • Robust and privacy-friendly — it's just well-formed links.

This is the best way to answer "how much website traffic, sign-ups and sales did this email drive?"

2. GA4 Server Events (optional, advanced)​

The addon can also push engagement directly into your GA4 property as custom events, using Google's Measurement Protocol:

EventFired when
email_senta message is sent
email_clicka recipient clicks a tracked link
email_unsubscribea recipient unsubscribes
email_bouncea message bounces
email_opena recipient opens (off by default — see below)

This requires a Measurement ID and API secret from your GA4 property, and is meant for advanced users who want server-side engagement data inside GA4 itself.

Opens are off by default

Apple Mail Privacy Protection pre-loads images, which massively inflates open counts. To avoid polluting your analytics, open events are disabled by default. You can enable them — with an optional bot filter — but treat the numbers with caution.

What you'll need​

  • The Google Analytics addon enabled for your account (Setup → Addons).
  • For UTM tagging: nothing else.
  • For GA4 server events: a Measurement ID (e.g. G-XXXXXXXXXX) and an API secret, both from your GA4 data stream.

Continue to Setup & UTM tagging to get started.
