AJO Tracking Link - Under the hood

[AdeelKh1]

Hi,

I have a fair understanding of how the tracking links work in AJO. Just trying to find adobe document that explains how it works under the hood? Especially, where does AJO keep the original URL? is it in the tracking URL? If yes then is it encoded/encrypted. This is the level of detail I am looking for.

thanks.

Hello,

The AJO will rewrite the original URL appending tracking parameters. The entire URL with tracking parameters are encoded but not encrypted.

Thanks

Hi @AdeelKh1 

For interpreting URLs, Journey Optimizer complies with the URI syntax (RFC 3986 standard), which disables some special international characters in URLs. When trying to send the proof or email, if you are returned an error involving a URL added to your content, you can URL encode the string as a workaround.

The entire URL with tracking parameters are encrypted and follow this pattern

https://[domain]/ee/v1/click?
params=
&pid=
&tuid=
&configId=

Thanks,

David

@nnakirikanti the post you referred is quite different from the information I am trying to gather. But thanks for your help

@AdeelKh1 Encoded url is not persisted anywhere, at runtime it is computed, resolution is also done click time or open and ingest the raw data into message feedback and click stream datasets
