Trackingplan helps you ensure consistency and accuracy in the naming conventions used across your campaigns, mediums, and sources by detecting and highlighting discrepancies, such as duplicate or improperly formatted names, that may compromise data quality and campaign attribution.

For it, Trackingplan enables you to create customized naming convention rules for your UTMs to seamlessly validate that your campaigns consistently adhere to your established naming standards.
