UTM Parameters on Meta Ads

What Are UTM Parameters? UTM parameters are small tags added to the end of a URL. They allow you to track the performance of your Meta campaigns (Facebook & Instagram) in tools like Google Analytics. 

This article is relevant for: all subscriptions

With UTMs you can see:

- where your traffic comes from,

- which campaign, ad set, or ad a user clicked on, and

- how users behave on your website after clicking an ad.

How Future Demand Handles UTM Parameters

1) No UTMs provided:

If you don’t add UTMs yourself, Future Demand automatically appends them to ensure all traffic is tracked.

Example:

 https://app.stg.future-demand.com/?utm_source=Meta&utm_campaign=Event_Title&utm_medium=TCname_placement

 

2) UTMs provided by you:

If you add UTMs to your links, we use exactly what you’ve set up – giving you full control over your tracking setup.

Dynamic UTM Parameters:

Meta also supports dynamic placeholders. These automatically pull in campaign details, so you don’t need to manually update links for every ad.

Dynamic UTM tag

Common dynamic placeholders:

  • , ,

  • ,

Example:

To track campaign name and ad set ID, you could set: utm_campaign=&utm_adset=

Important note on names:

If you use name-based placeholders (wie ) :

- The parameter value is locked to the name at the time of publishing.

- If you later rename the campaign, event, ad set, or ad, the UTMs will still show the original names.

- To update these values, you need to publish a new campaign/event/ad set/ad.

Key Takeaways

- No UTMs? → Future Demand adds them automatically.

- Custom UTMs? → We respect and use your setup.

- Dynamic UTMs? → Great for detailed tracking without manual work.

- Name placeholders stay fixed after publishing – plan ahead if you need consistent naming.
