What ClickTrail is
ClickTrail is a campaign link intelligence platform for creating branded short links and QR codes, checking destinations, managing UTM parameters, and measuring clicks, conversions, and revenue. It checks campaign destinations before and after launch for unavailable pages, SSL issues, slow responses, excessive redirects, stripped tracking parameters, and changed destinations. Analytics cover real-time clicks, unique visitors, device, geography, referrer, conversion tracking, revenue attribution, funnels, and public or scheduled reports. Traffic can be split by percentage or routed by geography and device. The REST API creates, updates, and reads links, campaigns, and analytics, while webhooks send events to customer endpoints. Google Analytics 4 works through UTM governance; Stripe, Razorpay, and Slack use webhook-based connections. Agencies can separate client workspaces with isolated data, branded domains, and team roles, then share reports without giving clients workspace seats. ClickTrail has a free plan at no cost, billed at $0/mo, and paid plans start at $19 a month. Bulk creation uses the REST API rather than a CSV importer.
