I have an abandoned cart app that is sending links back to the checkout page.
Per the documentation (https://help.shopify.com/en/api/reference/marketingevent), we set up the appropriate UTM parameters hoping to get listed in the “View conversion details” modal of an order page like OrderlyEmails does:
We can get this to work if we our links with the appropriate UTM parameters take the shopper to the product pages. But not when we link to the checkout pages.
Do the session details not show the app details + UTM parameters if the checkout URL is used? Is there a clever workaround to this that I'm failing to see?

Hey @SoldLive ,
You should be able to get UTMs to appear with the order when sending customers directly to the checkout. Can you confirm the URL format you're using to send customers to the checkout?
This format is working in my tests: .myshopify.com/12345678/checkouts/193458cfbeb96161da2db8ddfa4e3faf?key=7838ecea60e718937cf50b1d4518f304&utm_source=test&utm_medium=test2&utm_campaign=test3

Thanks @_JB
I think we implemented it incorrectly before (put the utm parameters in our url shortener instead of the checkout url)
We fixed it and will keep an eye on it to verify it works!
