Overview
Do you share links in your emails and want to disable tracking to avoid damaging your domain’s reputation? Wise choice 😉
This article explains why link tracking is enabled by default, when you may want to turn it off, and how to do it in just a few clicks.
Key benefits
Domain protection to reduce spam risks
Full control over what you track (or don’t)
Quick setup with only a couple of clicks
Understand link tracking in emails
By default, as soon as you add a link to your emails, it is automatically tracked.
This tracking allows us to provide useful insights such as:
Your email click rate
The overall performance of your campaigns
These metrics can be valuable, but link tracking may also affect deliverability if your setup isn’t optimized.
Note: tracked links can sometimes trigger spam filters, especially if your domain isn’t properly protected.
Protect your domain reputation
To avoid spam issues while still tracking clicks, we strongly recommend enabling Custom Domain Tracking.
This helps you:
Use your own domain for tracked links
Protect your email reputation
Reduce suspicious signals for spam filters
Important: if click rate isn’t a metric you care about and you want zero risk, disabling link tracking entirely is a perfectly valid option.
Deactivate link tracking in your emails
Good news — it’s very simple.
Step 1: Disable tracking on the link
Click on the link directly in your email
Deactivate the Track link option
Step 2: Save your changes
Click Save to apply your changes
Step 3: Done
That’s it! The link is no longer tracked 🎉
Tip: you can disable tracking on specific links only, without affecting the rest of your email or campaign.
