- In the Total exposure graph click Export.

Tracking your signature clicks
Google Analytics provides an easy way to check the traffic that arrives from your signatures to your online assets. To enable this feature you need to add UTM parameters at the end of all links within your WiseStamp signature.
To track your signature clicks, add UTM parameters to the signature links. The tracking and measuring of the links activity is done on your Google Analytics platforms.
To set up the Analytics app on your domain, go to https://support.google.com/sites/answer/97459?hl=en and follow the instructions.
To add UTM parameter tags
- On the main navigation panel, click Analytics.
- Go to the bottom-right of the page and click Define parameters.
- Enter your campaign name, medium, and source to meet your needs.
- WiseStamp automatically appends UTM parameters to links in your email signatures. These UTM tags help track:
-
UTM source: Set as
emailsignature
-
UTM medium: Set as
email
-
UTM campaign: Your signature or organization name (e.g.,
marketing_campaign
)
This ensures that all signature-related traffic is identifiable within GA4. Note that you can change these tracking parameters according to your preferences.

UTM source: Set as

Troubleshooting
The following are some of the issues that may occur:
Problem | Resolution |
Signature shows a broken image named _tpx_ |
The _tpx_ is a tracking pixel used by WiseStamp to measure email views. It appears as a broken image when the recipient's email client doesn't automatically display images. You have two options to solve this - turn off the tracking pixel (this has to be done by our Support team) or turn off embedded images. |
