Do HawkOpen tracked links work with Google Analytics and UTM parameters?

Yes, side by side. When a link is tracked, HawkOpen counts the click itself and then sends the person to the link exactly as you wrote it, UTM parameters included, so Google Analytics sees the visit as usual. HawkOpen does not add UTM parameters and does not connect to Google Analytics.

Checked:

UTM parameters are labels at the end of a link (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign) that tell an analytics tool where a visit came from. Add them to your links before you send; HawkOpen keeps them.

HawkOpen tracks a link only where your company has switched link tracking on and the recipient has consented to it; otherwise the link goes out unchanged and only your analytics tool sees the visit. Only https links are tracked; plain http links are left as they are. Expect the two tools to show different numbers: HawkOpen labels clicks by security scanners and link previews, while a website counts only visits that load the page.
