Stopping specific links from being tracked
By default Suite26 will track all the links within the HTML content of your campaign.
To enable us to track the links we need to change them slightly. When your campaign starts sending we read all of the links in and change them to a special encoded link which is unique to each recipient. When a recipient clicks the link we know who they and log the click before seemlessly redirecting them to the intended URL.
In some cases you may not want us to rewrite your URLs as it will can cause them to not work as you intended. Let's say for example you want to pass a custom value, such as a membership number through with a URL. Your link may look like this:
<a href="http://www.mysite.com/member.html?memb={FIELD($c-memberid)}">Go to member page</a>If we were to add our tracking to this URL it would correctly take people to the 'member.html' page but it would not pass through the member ID field. This is because the tracking for the URL gets added BEFORE any custom field data is added.
In the case above you would need to tell Suite26 NOT to add tracking for that URL. To do this you would need to add the following into your <a href> tag:
rel="s26-no-track"
So the final URL would look like:
<a rel="s26-no-track" href="http://www.mysite.com/member.html?memb={FIELD($c-memberid)}">Go to member page</a>The rel="s26-no-track" MUST come before the href part of the tag or it will not get picked up by the system.
