Hello,

We just recently transitioned our forum over to Discourse and I am having some trouble. I am attempting to see if there is a way to send a unique join link to individuals so I can track if they join the community or interact with the link? Is there also a way to see where new users are coming from? I can see the number of how many new users we have but I want to see how they found the community. Any help is much appreciated.

Sounds similar to this:

> Hi there - I have a sales and marketing team driving registration to our community. Members are arriving at our “signup” lightbox from a number of personalized URLs. Therefore I have a two part question: Can discourse signup page capture registration data as a hidden fields? Can I add the registration data to the users profile? This would be hidden from user and only visible to admins. How it works: An ad appears from my community online The destination URL includes UTM parameters for track…

You would have to add parameters to the invite URL and capture them on sign up. That would require a custom plugin. I’d be happy to scope it with you if you’d like. [joe@joebuhlig.com](mailto:joe@joebuhlig.com)
