Add a Tracked Link
You can add links that are tracked and reported on for statistical purposes.
The number of times a link was clicked through is reported when editing the mailing or survey and through analytics. See View Mailing Results.
After you have added tracked links to your system, they can be inserted in documents, templates, or snippets. See Insert a Tracked Link. Tracked links can also be inserted in several of the standard system-generated contact email messages. See How You Customize Messages. Adding tracked links to your contact emails are especially useful in tracking your customer-facing incident responses. See Incident Response Tracking.
Note: Due to the volume of tracked links that accumulate as new content is created, the
Agedatabase utility regularly purges the database of orphaned tracked links. That
is, links that have been defined but not used in any campaign, document, or mailing.
The PURGE_TRACKED_LINK_DAYS configuration setting specifies the number of days after
which an orphaned tracked link is removed from the database. The default value is 30
days. To turn off tracked link purging, set the value to 0.
