 * I want to pass utm parameters to another domain. And included this link (with
   the destination url) in the button:
 * `www.destinationURL.com?utm_campaign=[utm_campaign]&amp;utm_source=[utm_source]&
   amp;utm_term=[utm_term]&amp;utm_content=[utm_content]&amp;gclid=[gclid]`
 * but it doesn’t work. It goes to the destination site like this:
 * `destinationURL.com?utm_campaign=[utm[utm[utm_campaign]&utm_source=[utm_source]&
   utm_term=[utm_term]&utm_content=[utm_content]&gclid=[gclid]`
 * Appreciate your help.

 * Thank you for your reply. Yes, in the page. for some reason it’s generating utm[
   utm[utm_campaign] in the beginning. below is the outcome:
 * `destinationURL.com?utm_campaign=[utm[utm[utm_campaign]&utm_source=[utm_source]&
   utm_term=[utm_term]&utm_content=[utm_content]&gclid=[gclid]`
