Track clicks in a forwarded email

[Anonymous]

I'm trying an experiment for forwarded emails.  If someone forwards an email to a colleague, who then clicks on the CTA in the email, what's the best way to track the click to the clicker and not the original recipient?

Do you use a 'Forward to a Friend' type link in the email (and if so, how?), or some other type of tracking?

Thanks!

I don't think you can entirely track the clicks on those.

You could do a smart list to look for people who received a forward and if they clicked in the same email.

Yes, you would use our forward to a friend functionality in the email. If they click "Forward" in their email client, however, it won't work. It is techincally impossible.

Thanks for your helpful responses, Josh and Justin.  I'll check both options out and see what we can do!
