Good afternoon. Please tell me how you can track the transitions from letters to the VKontakte group using Google Analytics?
I tried this option:
1) I made a vk.php file into which I inserted the Google Tag Manager code (the analytics tag works fine) and after it a JS redirect to the VKontakte group;
2) In the letter, I indicated a link to this file with a UTM tag
. For some reason, this campaign is not displayed in Analytics sources. What is my mistake and how can I track conversions to other sites in letters?

new Date().getTime(),event:'gtm.js'});var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],
j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!='dataLayer'?'&l='+l:'';j.async=true;j.src=
'//www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id='+i+dl;f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f);
})(window,document,'script','dataLayer','GTM-XXXXXX');</script>

1. Turn off the redirect on VKontakte
2. Go with different tags yourself - check if GA works
3. If it doesn't work - pick GTM and configure GA :)
