URL Tracking type - There are 2 ways you can track a URL click.

  1. General: Choose this option if you want to track URL clicks only at Notification Event level and not at channel or user level. This is recommended for use cases like creating product URLs for Google/FB Ads and or you want to track only clicks. If you choose this option, you won’t see the ‘Click’ status in the Sent logs or in ‘Engagement funnel’ chart in Analytics. You will see the cumulative no of clicks under ‘URL engagement’ chart in analytics.
  2. User-Level: Choose this option, if you want to track URL at user and channel level. This is recommended for use cases like sending unique payment links to users and or you want to track the click event at the message level.
