I found the section on using UTM parameters particularly helpful, as it's often an overlooked aspect of link tracking. The built-in UTM builder in RelURL seems like a convenient feature for streamlining campaign attribution. I've worked on projects where manually constructing UTM parameters led to errors and inconsistencies, so having a tool to simplify this process is invaluable. Have you encountered any scenarios where the use of UTM parameters revealed unexpected insights into user behavior or campaign performance?
