Using click tracking for DLT templates
⚠️ This guide is applicable only for Indian SMS using DLT platforms.
Click tracking is done by converting the original URL in the SMS to a shortened URL, the short URL redirects the user to the original URL. An unique link is sent to each recipient.
While creating a template in your DLT account, use a variable in-place of the link in the template message, variables can be added to DLT templates using {#var#}
For example, in the template message below, we have replaced the link https://www.example.com with {#var#}
While creating your SMS campaign, paste the original message with the link and make sure Enable Link Tracking is checked as shown in the screenshot below.
