Overview

Click Tracking modifies each link in your email body to track when recipients click on them. When a recipient clicks a link, they are first sent to our tracking server and then immediately redirected to the original destination URL. This feature provides detailed insights into email engagement and link performance.

Requirements

Domain Validation

Click tracking only works for domains that are validated in the dashboard. Domains added through control panels or manual DNS configuration cannot use this feature.

How Click Tracking Works

  1. Link Modification: Each link in your email body is automatically modified to point to our tracking server
  2. Click Detection: When a recipient clicks a link, they are first directed to our tracking server
  3. Event Logging: The click event is logged with recipient information and the original destination
  4. Redirect: The recipient is immediately redirected to the original URL destination
  5. Dashboard Reporting: Click events are displayed in your dashboard analytics

Setting Up Click Tracking

  1. Log into your dashboard and navigate to your validated domain
  2. Go to the Settings section and find Click Tracking
  3. Toggle the feature On or Off as needed
  4. Click Save to apply your settings
