Tracking URL

Our tracking URL feature allows you to create a link that you can track for views when it is sent to mobile numbers.  

Creating a Tracking URL

1. Go to the advertiser dashboard and click on "Tracking URL":
   
   
   
   
   
2. Click on "Add New":
   
   
   
   
   
3. Enter a name for your URL - this is the name that will show in your tracking URL list
   
   
   
   
   
4. Under "Redirect URL," enter the URL where users will be sent to when clicking your link
   
   
   
   
   
5. Set up a CNAME to use your own source URL that will create your customized links when sending messages.
   - Head over to your domain provider and look for the CNAME options.
   - For example, if your domain was yourdomain.com, you would create a CNAME such as sms.yourdomain.com and point it to mcpn.us
   - You would then copy and paste sms.yourdomain.com into "Source URL" field
   - Once you create a CNAME and add the source URL, the URL that your clients will receive will be something like this, for example, https://sms.yourdomain.com/7tuy9g
   - Your source URL will be saved, so next time you create a new tracking URL it will be prefilled in the source URL space. You can always change it as needed.
   
   
   
   
   
6. Optional: Click on the advanced tab where you can add a tag to all the users who will view your URL. For example, you can later send a text blast only to the users who have viewed the URL by creating a filter with that tag. Click here to learn more.
   
   
   
   
   
7. Select the opt-in list that will be associated with the tag created.
   
   
   
   
   
8. Click "Save."

Using Your URL

1. Once your URL is created, you can now copy it by clicking on the "Copy" button . This allows you to copy the URL to your clipboard. For example, if you need to use the link with a text blast, all you have to do is paste it into your message.
   
   
   
   

Tracking Views

1. You can check the mobile numbers viewing your URL by clicking on "Total Views" or "Unique Views"
   - Total Views: The total number of URL views by all users more than once. Please note that there's approximately a 30-minute window for each session. A session is reset based on inactivity. If you click on the link multiple times within a session, it will only be counted once.
   - Unique Views: The number of distinct mobile users who have viewed the URL
