New Link Category
It is possible to create a new link category in this window. Link categories can be manually or automatically assigned. Manual assignment is done during message creation and does not require programming skills (see Manual Assignment of Link Categories). Automatic assignment with keywords is possible even for inexperienced users. A word that occurs in the link needs to be specified. Regular expressions (Regex) are available for automatic link assignments that require complex conditions (see Automatic Assignment of Link Categories).
Action | Description |
---|---|
Name | This input field defines the name of the link category. The link category name is only used for internal identification purposes in the Engage system. The name can be edited at any time. After it is edited, the link category is displayed with the new name. The name is also updated in other areas, such as the existing statistics or automatic activities. |
Description | This input field allows adding additional information about the link category. The link category description is only used for internal identification purposes in the Engage system. When many link categories are used on a system, information entered in the description input field facilitates the identification of the link categories. |
Manually assign link category | The link category is assigned manually during message creation. Once the individual link categories are created in the New Link Category window, they can be selected for use in messages (see Manually Assign Link Categories (before sendout)). |
Automatically assign link category with keyword | This option opens an input field to define a keyword. Whenever a message is created with a link that contains the keyword, it is automatically assigned to the link category.
|
Automatically assign link category with Regex | This option opens an input field to define a regular expression (Regex). Whenever a message is created that contains the phrase that Regex defines, it is automatically assigned to the link category. The definition of a regular expression requires programming knowledge.
|
Cancel | This button ends the link category creation process without saving your changes. |
Save | This button saves the new link category. By default, newly created link categories are automatically assigned the lowest priority. It is possible to assign a higher or lower priority to an existing link category in the Link Category Overview tab (see Link Category Overview (tab)). |
