Link Alias? Really? That's not going to give you the data you need. UTM Parameters is the clear winner.

I feel like link alias was mentioned too, but it seems more related to simplifying URLs rather than tracking traffic from emails.

UTM parameters sound familiar, especially with how they can break down traffic sources. I might lean towards that option.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about behavioral triggers being more about actions on the site rather than tracking email links.
