Add referral to UI of events

[adriaandotcom]

We save referrals right now in events, but we don't show it yet.

It would be super helpful to also be able to see things such as utm parameters

I use events to track which emails convert the best and it would be great to have an option to see things like utm_campaign, utm_source and maybe even utm_content so links like this are tracked in Simple Analytics:

We will include those as well!

@stephenson requested this for normal page views as well.

In our new script we added more parameters for events. It will now store the utm codes and the referrer of the page. We don't show it in the dashboard just yet, but that's a logical next step. Basically this issue got the whole new public script update started.

This would be a big help for us as it would enable us to measure the outcomes of an advertising campaign more closely.

Currently our partners are putting pressure to include GA tags to track this stuff in the mean time :stuck_out_tongue:

Awesome to hear that. We are working on getting way more data into the events. Basically page views and events will become events. Both with have all UTM codes, referrals, .. Later they will support custom data parameters as well.
