Goal
To change the destination of links in an email message after the email has already been sent out.
Prerequisite
Link tracking is activated for the message in your Mapp Engage system.
Background Information
In order for Mapp Engage to evaluate the number of clicks on each link in a message, every link automatically redirects briefly to a Mapp Engage system site. This site then redirects the recipient to the final link destination. For example, the start page of an online shop.
This process can also be used to change the destination of a link, even after sendout of the email. The Mapp Engage site through which the links are redirected simply redirects the recipient to the new destination. It is not possible to change the text that is displayed for the link after sendout.
The new link destination becomes effective immediately. Alternatively, it is possible to redirect all links to one single new destination at a pre-scheduled time. For more information, see Timed Link Redirection.
Procedure
In the Main Navigation menu, click Message> Outbox.
⇒ The window Processed Messages Overview opens.Next to the message in which you would like to edit the links, click Edit Links

⇒ TheRedirect Link window opens.In the input fieldNew URL, enter the new destination of the link.
Click Save.
The destination of the link is changed. Recipients are redirected to the new URL. The address that is displayed in the email remains unchanged.
