    How do I track Product Hunt traffic in Google Analytics

    Hi everyone! I launched my first product this morning - https://www.producthunt.com/posts/hexacademy-io - and I can see some traffic in Google Analytics. However the "session source" is "(not set)" in the 'traffic acquisition' report. The link from product hunt puts a ?ref=producthunt on the URL but I can't seem to find that in GA anywhere. I'd like to see which traffic specifically came from Product Hunt. Can anyone help an analytics noob?

    Are you using GA4?

    @andy_davies1 Go to: - Report - Acquisition - User acquisition - Over the list of channel (referral/ direct...) click on the plus symbol and add "First user source/medium" - Look at the line with "producthunt.com / referral"
