How to configure UTMs for affiliates?

Use the following pattern for affiliates:
  • utm_source → always affiliate, to identify the source
  • utm_medium → channel used by the affiliate (e.g., instagram, youtube, blog)
  • utm_campaign → affiliate name (no spaces; use _ to separate)
  • utm_content (optional) → campaign name, promotion, or content type
