- Ad click IDs: gclid (Google Ads), fbclid (Facebook), msclkid (Microsoft Ads), ttclid (TikTok)
- Landing page URL
- External referrer (the site the visitor actually came from)
- Zero-config: a formatted tracking table is appended to every CF7 email automatically (can be turned off).
- Mail tags: place
[utm_source],[utm_medium],[utm_term],[utm_campaign],[utm_content],[utm_gclid],[utm_fbclid],[utm_msclkid],[utm_ttclid],[utm_landing],[utm_referrer]anywhere in your CF7 mail template, subject line included. - Form Submissions log: every submission is saved under Contact → Form Submissions with its full attribution and submitted fields, so no lead is lost even if the notification email fails to send.
- Cookie lifetime (default 60 days)
- First-touch or last-touch attribution
- Turn the auto-appended email table on/off
- Turn the Form Submissions log on/off
安装:
- Install directly from the WordPress plugin directory, or upload the plugin folder to

- That's it: tracking data is appended to your Contact Form 7 emails and logged under Contact → Form Submissions automatically. Optionally adjust behaviour under Settings → Easy UTM CF7.

常见问题:
Does it need any configuration?
No. Activate it and tracking data is appended to your CF7 emails and stored under Contact → Form Submissions. Settings are optional.
Where can I see my submissions?
In your WordPress admin under Contact → Form Submissions (inside the Contact Form 7 menu). Each submission shows the submitted form fields plus the full attribution (source, medium, campaign, click IDs, landing page, referrer). Only administrators can view them, and they are stored even when the email fails to send.
I'm updating from an older version, will anything change?
Your tracking keeps working with no reconfiguration. Cookies set by older versions are still read, so visitors who arrived before the update keep their attribution. Three improvements you'll notice: the tracking table is no longer added to emails when there is no data (previously it appended empty rows), plain-text mail templates are no longer forced to HTML, and the external referrer is now captured correctly. The new submission log is on by default; you can turn it off under Settings → Easy UTM CF7.
What cookies does it set?
_easy_utm_last and _easy_utm_first (tracking parameters as JSON), and _easy_utm_referrer (the external referrer). All are first-party cookies, stored for the configured lifetime (60 days by default). Legacy cookies from version 2.0.x are still read so existing visitors keep their attribution.
What is first-touch vs last-touch?
Last-touch (default) reports the most recent campaign the visitor arrived through. First-touch reports the very first campaign that brought them to your site.
Will it change my plain-text emails to HTML?
No. Since 2.1.0 plain-text mail templates get a plain-text tracking block; HTML templates get the formatted table.
更新日志:
- Shortened the plugin short description to meet the directory limit and polished wording.
- Added: Form Submissions log under the Contact menu: every submission is stored with its attribution data and submitted fields, even if the notification email fails to send. Admins only.
- Added: submission list columns (source, medium, campaign, click IDs, referrer) and a detail view.
- Added: quick links on the Plugins page and a one-time notice after updating.
- Added: setting to enable/disable the submission log.
- Improved: plugin code reorganised into modules; security hardening and per-request caching.
- Fixed: referrer was only stored for internal navigation; the external traffic source (Google, Facebook, etc.) is now captured correctly, once, and no longer overwritten.
- Fixed: missing UTM parameters were recorded as the literal string "false".
- Fixed: PHP notices when no tracking cookies were present; the tracking table is no longer appended to emails when there is no data.
