Although If you don't provide the link type then the default value would be NULL/nothing.

If you don't provide the link type then nothing will be set as a default.. this will likely result in that row of data being ignored / flagged as invalid OR it will just treat this as a page view in Adobe.. so while there will be a "raw data row", this tracking will not appear properly in your reports, because "o", "e" or "d" is required for Adobe to process this link into the correct report (custom links, exit links and download links)

 

When I tested for fun, when the Link Type is missing, Adobe won't even send the Link Name...  So both fields that indicate a link/action call are missing.. so I'm leaning towards Adobe just treating this a page view....

@17661618  I believe Adobe will still charge you for those invalid hits. 💸

So, it's best to fix your implementation!

    Lol, yes, they will absolutely charge you for those calls.. I expect though that the clicks will be tracked as Page Views... as the "key" parameters indicating a click are all stripped out of the tracking call.
