Update a Job Link

Follow these instructions to update job links in Email Studio Tracking.

Note
Note When Web Analytics Connector (WAC) is enabled and the link to update contains email_XtraLinkParameters data, the redirect link update cannot be completed. These links will not resolve after being edited unless the redirect is replaced with a static url.

To update a job link:

  1. Navigate to Email Studio.
  2. Select Tracking and choose Sends.
  3. Click an email link in the Name column.
  4. Click the Job Links tab.
  5. Select the URL ID to edit.
  6. Enter the new full URL field.
  7. Enter the URL Parameters field. You can add and remove query string parameters to the URL as needed, but you must edit each parameter separately.
  8. Optional: Click Add Parameter to add a field and value pair.
  9. Click Save.
  10. Click Change Link.

Edit a URL Field

In the URL field, you enter the full URL path that includes https://. For example, if the link in your email is https://cl.exct.net/?utm_medium=NorthernTrail, the URL is https://cl.exct.net/.

The system validates your link which cannot contain invalid these invalid characters /":*|< >. It also verifies that your link contains the full URL path with the valid protocol such as https://.

Edit URL Parameters

In the URL Parameters field, you enter the value pairs that occur after the base URL. For example, if the link in your email is https://cl.exct.net/?utm_medium=NorthernTrail, the parameter is utm_medium=NorthernTrail. You can add and remove query string parameters to the URL as needed, but you must edit each parameter separately.

The system checks for duplicate parameters and validates your link which cannot contain invalid these invalid characters /":*|< >. Also, the system automatically adds the following characters where appropriate: ?, =, &.
