I have always thought that mailto links are not able to be tracked, but I have had someone recently tell me that it isn't true, but cannot tell me how to do it.
I have created mailto links in the past, and usually just dropped it into my standard link setup even though I didn't think it mattered:
<a href="mailto:name@domain.com" target="_blank" label="Mailto" Title="Mailto">Email Me</a>
I have also gone back into my tracking logs and looked for a source URL that contains mailto with no results showing.
Anyone know of anything different?
Thanks,
Bryce
Hello @bryceh57660644 ,
Mailto links can be tracked on the webpages by using onclick javascript function.
<a href="mailto:name@domain.com" conclick="trackingFunction()" target="_blank" label="Mailto" Title="Mailto">Email Me</a>
But they cannot be tracked emails because they don't support javascript and isp will reject the JS content.
The only possible way i could think is to dynamically add the content in the email so that the pixel will fire in the compose tab.
Something like this:
<a href="mailto:name@domain.com?body=This%20is%20body%20text ADD PIXEL HERE">name@domain.com</a>
I am not sure if this will work But that is the only way i can think to make it work in emails only js supported clients.
