Yet another - link tracking

Post by toneill »

Is there anywhere I can find out who clicked on the link in emails instead of just counting numbers? I'm only using the track link - should I have set a second variable on the link to increment when clicked and search by link variable = 1 to see who clicked?

Thanks!

P.S. not many replies go on this forum!

registering individual-relates link clicks

Post by maschoff »

Sure. Please follow these 3 steps:

1. Define a new numeric data field "linkclicks" (or use any other name) with default value 0 for the profile of your addresses.
2. Set up an action "clickcount" which sets the content of the field "linkclicks" to 1 (to register link clicks in general) or adds a value like +1 (to actually count link clicks).
3. When creating a mailing use the "trackable links" tab to connect action "clickcount" with the link for which you want to monitor clicks.

From then on you can go to Recipient / Overview, using search filter "clickcount > 0" and list all persons who clicked.
