Tracking token links in the Email

Hi

I have created an inherited token for my ebook pdf and added that token in my email (local asset to a program).

Issue is I am not able to track that link through my trigger campaign - click link in email

I followed all the steps: Using URLs in My Tokens - Marketo Docs - Product Docs

I did not add http:// in the token.

Can anyone guide me what is wrong?

I want to use inherited token more often in my emails for different links.

Thanks

Vipula

Hi Vipula,

YOu have NOT added http:// in the token which is right

The fact that the token is inherited does not matter in this case.

But have you added it in the email, just before the token? your link URL in the email should have the following structure:

http://{{my.docURL}}

Thanks

URL in my email: http://{{my.DIM eBookdefault=Default}}

Is that Correct?

Thanks

No, should be a colon between the token name and the word "default".

Better yet, as program tokens cannot be empty, the default is not needed.

Just write it http://{{my.DIM eBook}}

Hi

Thanks for helping me out.

I tried every suggested solution. My link is: http://{{my.DimEbook}}

Also, I tried writing the same token in Text and Rich text. But still the link is not tracking in trigger campaign as well in SFDC campaign

Hi Vipula,

I see a problem in you screen shot: you have 2 tokens and you seem to use the wrong one (with is apparently a rich text) in your email.

It the URL is {{my.DIM eBook}}, then the URL in the email should be http://{{my.DIM eBook}}

And

  1. you cannot use a token in a token
  2. As I already answered to you here, you cannot use the token in the constraint of your trigger or filter

Yes I am making sure Url in the email and the tracking campaign matches.

I think I missed to change it when I was taking screenshot.

Thanks,

Make sure also you are using the right one. DimEbook is a rich text that is not appropriate for a URL.
