Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:
You need to change the redirect so that it adds UTM parameters. Instead of: http://domaina.example/ -> http://domainb.example/ Use the Google Analytics Campaign URL Builder to build your final URL something like: http://domaina.example/ -> http://domainb.example/?utm_source=the-global-times&utm_medium=print&utm_campaign=2019-push That way your customers will be able to type in the simple short URL and Google Analytics will get the data it needs to track your campaign.
