Campaigns

Track where your players come from. Campaigns let you attribute players to specific sources — like a YouTuber's video, a TikTok post, or a Discord ad — by using unique hostnames.

When a player joins through youtube.myserver.net instead of play.myserver.net, Analyse automatically attributes them to your "YouTube" campaign. You can then see exactly how many players each source brings and how valuable they are.

Setup

Step 1: Create a Campaign

1. Go to Campaigns in your project dashboard
2. Click "New Campaign"
3. Enter a name (e.g., "YouTube")
4. Add the hostname players will use (e.g., youtube.myserver.net)
5. Click "Create"

Step 2: Verify Your Domain

Before the campaign works, you need to verify domain ownership:

1. Go to Project Settings → Domains
2. Add your domain (e.g., myserver.net)
3. Add the DNS TXT record shown
4. Wait for verification (usually under 5 minutes)

See the Domain Verification guide for detailed instructions.

Step 3: Create DNS Record for Subdomain

Point your campaign subdomain to your server:

1. In your DNS provider, create an A record or SRV record
2. Point youtube.myserver.net to your server IP
3. Share the link with your content creator

How Attribution Works

Attribution is permanent — once a player is attributed to a campaign, they stay attributed even if they later join through a different hostname.
