Using tokens for pdf downloads

I am new to Marketo and am currently setting up all of our nuture programs.  Many of these email campaigns include a pdf to download.  I have uploaded all of the pdfs to the Design Studio for easy access.  I am using the my Tokens to pull the correct download for each email.

In the Smart List, I have a trigger pointing to the Click Link in Email, which pulls http://{{my.Offer URL}} for the pdf.  I am able to activate the campaign and run a test send,  when I click in the test email, my campaign is not registering the click.  When I replace the token with the actual link, it doesn't work either.

Isn't the purpose of tokens to make tasks like this easier?  Am I missing something?

Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Figured this out - I'm using the Clicks Links in Email trigger, but using contains .pdf and then specifiying which email the pdf is in.  Using the token in the trigger just doesn't register a clicked link.

Thanks for your help Naor!

I am trying to do track the tokenized link in an email through trigger campaign

Also, I have tried creating token in text and rich text but nothing seems to work out for the tracking.

Is this even possible to track pdf link in the token?

Thanks

Hi Vipula,

This will not work. You cannot use a token in a constraint in a trigger or filter. There quite a few ideas in the community around this.
