Hi Community

Within an engagement program, we would like to dynamically populate links to include the date the email was sent out for utm tracking. Anyone know how to do this, I don't believe a system. or my. token will work?

Thanks

Why would {{system.date}} not work?

    I re-looked and I was using this token within a my.token for url strings and it wasn't working. I added it to the actual URL sting in the email link and it added strange characters e.g. "Aug%2008,%202017". So I added a my.Date token instead and it has worked.

    %20 isn't strange. It's the mandatory way of encoding spaces in any URL. You can't have raw spaces in a URL.

    What is your my.Date token? A Velocity token?
