Click Tracking

Similar to open tracking, click tracking is enabled per SMTP user, authenticated IP address, or API key. To enable click tracking, visit the appropriate section of the dashboard:

• "Settings > SMTP Users”
• “Settings > IP Authentication"
• “Settings > API Keys"

From here, you’ll click on your username, IP address, or API key and navigate over to the “Tracking” tab:

 

Once enabled, you'll then have the ability to see if a link was clicked from the "Reports > Activity" section.  Multiple “click” events will be added to the timeline if the link is clicked multiple times by the recipient.

Some limitations to bear in mind:

• Click tracking is not available in plain text emails. 
• Only properly formatted <a> tags with "href" attributes beginning with "http://" or "https://" can be tracked.
  Correct example: <a href="https://www.smtp2go.com">SMTP2GO</a>
  Incorrect example: <a href="www.smtp2go.com">SMTP2GO</a>
• An optional no-track attribute can be used to ignore click tracking for particular links.
  Example: <a href="https://www.smtp2go.com" no-track>SMTP2GO</a>

This data is also available through API requests, and Webhooks.
