Yes, you can create a customized tracking link to change the way links are displayed in your emails!

Currently, the tracking links in the emails sent from Mailjet have this format:

//az5.r.mailjet.com/redirect/12345/yourdomain.com/link/

 

But you can create a customized tracking link for your domain:

http://subdomain.yourdomain.com/redirect/12345/yourdomain.com/link/

 

A customized link looks more attractive and will help improve your deliverability.

Before you can get started, your sender domain needs to be verified by Mailjet. If you haven’t verified your sender domain, please do this now by going to your Sender Addresses page.

 

Go to Account settings → API Key management (Primary and Sub-account).

Click on the cogwheel and then select “Edit API Key”. In this example, we are customizing the Primary API Key (Main Account).

You need to create a CNAME record before you complete the customized tracking screen below. The CNAME record can be created at your domain host account, and the record must point your subdomain to Mailjet.

In the example below, the CNAME record was created at BlueHost.com:

Host Record (Subdomain Name): go
Points to: r.mailjet.com

It is recommended to keep the subdomain name short; for example: go, redir, r, links.

After you have created your CNAME record, enter your subdomain name and select the domain on the screen below. Then click ‘Update’ to continue.

Congratulations, you are now using a customized tracking hostname.

If you received a message that your entry is missing, it means you may have added the information incorrectly or your CNAME record needs more time to propagate. Please double-check your values, and contact our Support Team for assistance.
