When sending tracked emails from your email client or from a record in the HubSpot CRM, you can track clicks on links included in the body of the email.
Outlook
Gmail
HubSpot CRM
Tracked links will appear in the following format in the email the contact receives:
http://t.sidekickopen.com/e1t/c../../www.hubspot.com.../
The temporary redirection to the t.sidekickopen.com domain is necessary for HubSpot to register and track link clicks. The link will automatically redirect to the final URL destination (e.g. www.hubspot.com) when clicked.
If you want to test link tracking, click the link from an email client and browser that does not have the HubSpot Sales extension installed; otherwise, the click notification may be suppressed. This prevents any notifications triggered by clicks on your own links, but this does not apply to other recipients of your email who may have HubSpot Sales installed.
If you are not receiving any click notifications, learn how to troubleshoot issues with the extension.
