Your emails will likely contain links to https or http URLs that navigate to your website or mobile app. To track if the link was clicked, your Email Service Provider will change the URL structure to make it trackable and OneSignal can hook into that event for analytics.

By default, all emails sent from OneSignal will have link tracking enabled, causing the URL structure to change.

You can disable link tracking by unchecking the Track link clicks option in the dashboard email form. For Emails sent through our API set disable_email_click_tracking to true in your API requests.

If you disable link tracking:

• OneSignal cannot track link clicks and will show N/A in the Email Message Reports Click-Through Rate.
• All URLs in the email will not be tracked. There is not an option to disable link tracking for only specific links.
