but yeah, we're definitely not setting it ourselves and I'm sure they are coming from a different UTM because I can see it in the current_url parameter

yeah sorry, maybe super property in the front end is the more correct term

re: setting of the UTMs, we don't set them as global properties. The mixpanel library does automatically

The event in mixpanel only shows 1 set of UTM properties, so unless some are hidden somewhere

1.
Member follows a link to their account and it has UTM information A, which mixpanel automatically sets as a global property
2.
A few days later they follow another link to their account and this has UTM information B
3.
But as UTM info A was set as a global property, mixpanel doesn't add UTM information B to the events fired

Yeah, it gets set automatically but as a global property in the front end, so it doesn't get replaced when they arrive via a new link

Hey, I'd seen some of this, but when I look at the actual event itself in the Events tab, it doesn't have the correct UTM details and so I'm not sure this will help

Optimizing UTM Parameters in Mixpanel for Accurate Member Tracking

Hey, I have a question about UTM parameters... we want to track where members come from when they come back to their accounts e.g. how many click a webapp notification. We are using UTM parameters for this, but I've just found out that mixpanel stores the first UTM parameters a user touchers as a global property and so it doesn't get replaced if they come back from a different link, this is very annoying! Is there a way to get around this?
