Optional: Target URL & Tracking Specifications

Only required if you want to track newsletter campaigns independently. UTM links, bitly, and similar tools are fully supported. For tracking via e.g. DoubleClick or Adform, the following specifications must be met:

  • Use https:// at the start of the URL.
  • Use & between query parameters (not ;).
  • Do not leave raw template tokens like ${...} in the final URL. Resolve them before sending.
  • If you absolutely cannot resolve them, percent-encode the tokens (${ → %24%7B, } → %7D) so the URL remains syntactically valid.
  • Percent-encode non-ASCII characters (e.g., Ü → %C3%9C) or let your system encode them automatically.
  • Ensure that the stored URL contains no spaces or unescaped characters.

Otherwise, providing a standard target URL is sufficient. Ron Orp delivers reporting on views and clicks for all campaigns.
