How to set up a backup link (“If you do not see this message correctly, click here”)?

  • Author: Mounir Toumi

Use the shortcut

The easiest way to write the address of the mirror page in a message is to use the

%lien_secours%

will be replaced by the platform with the mirror link of the current campaign.

It is therefore sufficient to use, for example, the following code in the message:

<center>
<font face="verdana" size="2">Si ce message ne s'affiche pas correctement , 
<a href="%lien_secours%">cliquez ici</a></font>
</center>

If the campaign is cloned or duplicated, there is no need to modify the mirror link, the platform will replace the %lien_secours% variable by the corresponding mirror link.

Note: to ensure compatibility with some other routers the following code will also be replaced by the mirror link:

&&&

This gives:

<center>
<font face="verdana" size="2">Si ce message ne s'affiche pas correctement, 
<a href="&&&">cliquez ici</a></font>
</center>

Build the mirror link "by hand

For information, the procedure below details how to build this mirror link "by hand".

Attention, in this case, the mirror link built for a campaign will no longer be valid if the campaign is duplicated or cloned.

 

  • Locate the campaign ID

Campaign_ID

  • Build the link as below:
http://www.domaine-de-tracking.extension/view.html?id=ID-de-la-campagne&ref={dest_email}

Note: the &ref={dest_email} part is only used in case of personalization in the body of the message, in order to reflect it on the mirror page.

  • Put the link in the source of your message, for example like this:
<center>
<font face="verdana" size="2">Si ce message ne s'affiche pas correctement , 
<a href="http://www.domaine-de-tracking.extension/view.html?id=ID-de-la-campagne&ref={dest_email}">cliquez ici</a></font>
</center>
