You can create a CallRail tracking number to track a specific online campaign. When tracking an online campaign, you can set your tracking number to swap for a specific landing page parameter (say, utm_campaign=campaign1 and/or utm_campaign=campaign2). Then, you'll tag your landing page URL with the same parameter you're using for your tracking number. Our JavaScript snippet detects the parameter when a visitor comes to your website and swaps in the correct tracking number using dynamic number insertion.
Getting started
In order for your campaign-level tracking number to swap as expected, your company's JavaScript snippet will need to be installed on your website for dynamic number insertion.
