Monitoring Internal Traffic Sources
To monitor SharePoint content that is accessed via external locations, you can use the _referrer parameter whenever you publish a link to SharePoint and you wish to track the source of the referring application or page.
This is most commonly used in email or social networks such as Teams or Yammer.
For example, if you have included an internal link in a promotional email add the referrer parameter to track the users who visited your site via this link. Define a unique referrer value that will be displayed in reports, such as referrer=email_promotion_Dec_2020 in order to display the link accordingly:

To see how many visitors arrived at your page through your email campaign, filter the Usage Overview report by the QueryString field which stores all URL parameters.
