Hi everybody!
When using links that are generated from Catalogs, has anybody ever worked with link aliasing/utm tagging? It seems that the email drag & drop editor won't recognize the link in the "link management" section.
In addition, this is what I get as message:
I use URLs in catalogs too. You need to hardcode the utm tags in the catalog URLs.
Have you tried pulling only a part of the url that's dynamic out of the catalog? Something like https://{{item[0].linkPart}}. Wonder if that could help work around your issue.
There's actually a lot of discussions around this in Email Geeks, but it would be great to nail it down here as well! People have tried various things to get this working.
Yes I do that too. It would be useful to have another solution though, in case you'would need different parameters only for one campaign for example, or in ab testing
It doesn't seem to work unfortunatly
We manage our URL's and UTM components separately to do this.
The base URL is defined in the workspace-specific email header, main URL comes via a Catalog, and the UTM is defined in a variable in the email header, which the team can change per campaign or template in a Canvas, depending on requirements.
We tie these together by bringing the variables together in the template/content block. E.g.: {{websiteBaseURL}}/{{item[0].linkURL | strip}}{{campaignUTM | strip | escape}}
Hi @raygee ! After doing this set up, are you able to see those links under Link Management?
Hi @DRamirez ! Did you figure this out? Are you able to see those dynamic links under the Link Management now? I have a very similar issue.
Hi!
in the end, we did even though now we are not using the catalog feature anymore). We converted the places where we used it into html; and that worked! I think we just put the variable (for example {{ items[0].Artikel_link }}) in the href with a question mark behind it. That fixed it for us!
