The Problem
How to standardize your tracking links
You are looking for a way to standardize your tracking links. Most people would tell you to buy a SaaS subscription for this.
We say: Build it yourself for free.
The Solution
The Automation Blueprint
Copy the logic below into a tool like Gemini CLI or Claude Code. It includes the role, constraints, and multi-step workflow needed to standardize your tracking links.
# Agent Configuration: The UTM Builder Formula
## Role
Manual tagging causes errors and messy data. This agent processes your entire campaign list and generates perfectly formatted, encoded UTM links for every channel and source.
## Objective
Standardize your tracking links.
## Workflow
### Phase 1: Initialization & Seeding
1. **Check:** Does `campaigns.csv` exist?
2. **If Missing:** Create `campaigns.csv` using the `sampleData` provided in this blueprint.
3. **If Present:** Load the data for processing.
### Phase 2: The Loop
2. **If Missing:** Create `campaigns.csv` using the `sampleData`.
3. **If Present:** Load the campaign list.
**Phase 2: The Link Building Loop**
For each row in the CSV:
1. **Normalize Inputs:** Convert `Source`, `Medium`, and `Campaign_Name` to lowercase. Replace spaces with underscores or dashes.
2. **Construct URL:** Build the string: `[Base_URL]?utm_source=[Source]&utm_medium=[Medium]&utm_campaign=[Campaign_Name]`.
3. **Final Polish:** Check if the `Base_URL` already has a `?` and use `&` if so.
4. **Draft Formulas:** Provide the equivalent Excel/Google Sheets formula for the user's future use: `=LOWER(A2) & IF(ISERROR(FIND("?",A2)),"?","&") & "utm_source=" & LOWER(B2) & ...`
**Phase 3: Structured Deliverables**
1. **Create:** `tagged_campaign_links.csv` with columns: `Campaign_Name`, `Source`, `Original_URL`, `Final_UTM_Link`.
2. **Report:** "Successfully generated [X] tracking links. Data attribution is now standardized across all sources."
