Create links that track clicks and redirect to your destination. Use them in your emails, social media and other marketing campaigns.
Quick Start
Here are the key points that you need to follow to make tracking links tool work
Create an airtable field that will contain a link to redirect.
Create Tracking / Redirect Links tool and use that field as Link Url
Copy Redirect link url formula in Tracking / Redirect link tool
Paste formula to airtable
Now you have ready redirect urls that you can use anywhere.
Creating redirect links.
An example of how to set up a tracking link + a counter of how many times the link has been used.
Select redirect link and publish tool.
Now you are ready to use tracking links url.
Paste to airtable.
Tracking Clicks
Tracking the number of links clicked, or collecting data about who clicked the link and when.
Create a webook trigger and copy webhook url.
Paste it to Tracking / Redirect Links modal as a “URL” value, add description and link to your automation and save the changes.
Airtable webhook always returns record id that can be used to find record with data in the table.
Adding Extra Parameters
With the url parameter system, you can add additional data to the webhook and use it in automations.
When the webhook is launched, it will be passed in the body of the response
Now create counter (number). Once webhook is triggered, it will update counter with “+1” value. We will need to use a trick with formula url that holds next counter value.
Use recordId from previous step (find records) and update counter value with next counter formula value.
Make sure you automation is active
Updating counter value with {counter} + 1 logic does not work, use a formula trick.
Now you can track the number of clicks on redirect links
Changing the Redirect
Example:
I created Tracking links urls
I already sent it to customers so they can update customer values
I need to change redirect link without changing redirect url (already sent to customers)
Once you set up your tool, you only need to change Link Url field in order to update Tracking link url redirect
I am using Aeropage builder for my customers to update customer details
I decided to use fillout form this time. I only need to update {Link url} value that Tracking / Redirect tool uses.
Without any further change. All existing tracking links urls changed redirect link.
