Group your newsletter campaign links and see which CTA actually moves readers
Every weekly send goes out with several links: the main CTA, a sponsor slot, the archive. Campaigns let you put all of them under one campaign hub, tag each link by channel, and read at a glance which CTA and which channel pulled the clicks. Readable campaign links keep every share on brand.
How campaign grouping works for a weekly send
From a pile of links to a clear read on what moved readers, in four steps
1. Create one campaign hub
Open a campaign for the issue you are about to send, for example "Weekly issue 47". Every link in that send lives under this one hub instead of scattered across your account.
2. Add a link per channel
Add a grouped campaign link for each placement: the main CTA, the sponsor slot, the archive link. Each link stays attached to the hub so nothing drifts loose.
3. Use readable campaign slugs
Name links with campaign-flavored slugs like weekly-issue-47-cta so you can recognize each one in your reports without decoding random characters.
4. Compare which channel won
After the send goes out, open the campaign hub and compare clicks across links. See which CTA and which placement moved readers, then carry that into next week.
Worked example: one weekly issue, three placements
A single campaign hub for "Weekly issue 47" with channel-tagged links
Main CTA
Channel: top-of-issue button.
urlcut.ai/weekly-issue-47-cta
Sponsor slot
Channel: mid-issue sponsor block.
urlcut.ai/weekly-issue-47-sponsor
Archive link
Channel: footer "read past issues".
urlcut.ai/weekly-issue-47-archive
At a glance: which channel won
Open the "Weekly issue 47" hub and the three grouped links sit side by side:
The top CTA pulled most of the clicks, the sponsor slot held a steady share, and the archive link stayed light. Next week you know where to put the link that matters.

Grouping, channel tracking, and reporting questions
How is this different from a regular URL shortener?
A shortener gives you one short link at a time. Campaigns groups every link in a send under one campaign hub, so you can see all of an issue's links together and compare which CTA and channel got clicks, instead of hunting through a flat list.
Can I group all the links in one weekly issue together?
Yes. Create one campaign hub per issue, for example 'Weekly issue 47', then add a grouped link for each placement: the main CTA, the sponsor slot, and the archive. Every link stays attached to that hub.
How do I do CTA tracking in a newsletter?
For CTA tracking, give each call to action its own grouped campaign link inside the issue's hub, for example a main CTA link and a sponsor CTA link. Once the send goes out, the hub shows clicks per link side by side, so CTA tracking comes down to reading which call to action pulled the clicks.
How do I tell which CTA or channel moved readers?
Open the campaign hub after your send. The grouped links sit side by side with their click counts, so you can read at a glance whether the top CTA, the sponsor slot, or the archive link pulled the most clicks.
Should I reuse the same campaign slugs each week?
Use issue-specific, campaign-flavored slugs like weekly-issue-47-cta and weekly-issue-48-cta. That keeps each send's reporting separate so you can compare one week against the next without links overlapping.
What do I get on the Free plan?
Free includes 1 campaign hub and up to 3 campaign links, which covers a typical weekly issue with a CTA, a sponsor slot, and an archive link. Pro is $12/month when you run more sends and need more hubs and links. Check the pricing page for current limits.
Is Campaigns finished, or still changing?
Campaign grouping is available today. The core idea, grouping links into a hub and comparing channels, is in place, and we keep refining limits and reporting based on how newsletter writers use it.
