Find the right starting point
Start with a shared naming decision before generating links. A campaign register should identify the owner, approved source and medium, campaign ID, landing page and launch date. Preserve readable names separately from stable IDs so a rename does not erase your reporting history.
- Choose the naming rules
Agree on separators, casing and approved channel values before different teams create links.
- Assign ownership across teams
Define who approves new values and how client-specific exceptions are recorded.
- Run the launch review
Validate the actual published destination, collection and CRM handoff.
