I have a few PDFs hosted online (not our company's website) that I am trying to track clicks from emails without code or redirecting from landing pages.
File hosting to track total downloads of a PDF
^ This question was helpful but the limitation with bit.ly is you can't track clicks to the same link separately or on a campaign basis.
Another thing to note is that the links to the hosted PDFs we have are the same except for a first name. Example:
"example.com/salesdocument_John.pdf" & "example.com/salesdocument_Lisa.pdf"
We pull in the first name with data so I need to be able to enter the link in the email copy with just the first name pulled in via "wildcard/token".
Thanks!

I have a website written by js-css-html and some php. I have uploaded all the files to the github and it is activively working. As you know, it is a web-page which you can access it via a link.
What I'm trying to do is to see who click to my website. In my search I find that log files do this what I want. How can add log file to keep tracking who is click my web-page?
A GitHub page does have analytics:
either natively through Traffic page,
or through third-party tools, like Google analytics (with this script or a pixel tracked)
We are planning to use GSuite's Groups for our business to which we later plan to build front ends using Gsuite API to build helpdesks, public forums, etc but are having problems with broken links to inline images in posts to our groups.
It seems that only the person who inserted the images into a private google group post can view the images on the via the group's web interface, even using the same browser / machine for different accounts which are members of the same domain / different domain.
Please advise any permissions to check in the Gsuite groups settings page or if there is any GSuite API I could use to try and troubleshoot why the images are not downloading.

After reading assorted posts on Google Product Forums, I figured out that the "drag-drop" or select from computer method does not work. What you have to do instead is:
Be sure to remove/delete your previous attempted image from your new post. Even though you saw it upload and it appeared to work, once you posted the topic or message, you see the broken image icon.
Now go to Google Photos for that same Google Account.
Drag/drop or upload your image to Google Photos.
Now go back to Google Groups, click the image icon in the compose window, then this time when you get the popup window to choose a photo, select "Your Photos" from the left column menu. You should see the image that you uploaded using Google Photos.

Select that image, then click SELECT action button. This time the image that gets inserted into the new post will display after you click POST.
Good day,
Background: We have a single web application that multiple external websites link to; users visit www.aaa.com or www.bbb.com and can then click through to our web site at www.example.com.
When we send email comms, the users are directed to their respective client URL.
We require a method of tracking these users from email comms using Google Analytics so that we can see their activity in the Campaigns section.
Issue: The problem is that whilst we have Google Analytics enabled on www.example.com, we are not able to install analytics on client URLs. This means that if we affix the Google tags after the URL in emails, these are stripped out when a user then navigates around a client URL before visiting ours. This then means they do not appear in the 'Campaigns' tab of GA. That is:
trackable --> www.example.com?utm_source=offeremail&utm_campaign=testcampaign&utm_medium=email
not trackable -- > www.aaa.com?utm_source=offeremail&utm_campaign=testcampaign&utm_medium=email
Question: Are we able to start the tracking once a user clicks a link in an email but then accesses our site from another site and then show the results in the campaign tab?
Thank you!
Short answer: No. You need to pass the UTM-parameters in the URL for Google Analytics to understand it is campaign traffic. This is usually the issue with redirects between websites, that this UTM-tagging is lost, thus losing the campaign information.
What I would suggest is that you look at referrals or have your clients add tracking to the links back to your website. Then correlate that to the dates of your send-outs. It is a bit of a middleground, but it should do the trick to atleast see trending success.
Wondering if anyone has actually managed to get the "share" functionality working in an email newsletter.
Currently being asked by a client to "share" a certain part of a newsletter directly to a persons wall.
However, the HTML will be generated by 1 program, and then a copy and paste into the email blaster to be sent.
Essentially, wondering can it be done? Are there any examples?
The like button plugin will work for a web page, not content in an email.
The share is being deprecated.
The send button plugin is used to share a URL (which is not content of an email).
I would suggest that the html of the email being blasted also be hosted on a web page. Then have that like (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/) button's (that is being send via email) set it's href property to that of the hosted web page. That should work well.
Happy coding!
I would like to upload an html email I created to my client's server thru my ftp program. I am assuming that it isn't working because his site is in Joomla. I have tried to upload the file, and I see it there in my uploaded files, but when I enter that page address into my browser's address bar it says it can't find the file. Is there a way to do this when his site is in Joomla? Thanks so much! (His site is prohomebuyer.com)
Thanks for commenting. Yes, I have uploaded to public_html, and I see it there. But, when I look for it online, I get the website's error message inside the site template.
