On this month’s Inner Circle training, we focused on setting up click trackers on the e-promo-kit links we send prospects. This allows us to instantly know when they’ve successfully opened the info you sent them. Some others have also set this up when sending contracts, invoices, etc so they know when their customers open those links as well. The new twist on this is the fact that now we use 1 click tracker autoresponder notification, for all e-promo-kits. Get the special click tracker file, sample links and instructions along with the replay here:

- Inherit sample autoresponder notification – Login to 1shop, click on autoresponders, then click on “inherit” in the upper left hand corner. Type in 182330 and then click on “submit” and then “submit” again. Give it a minute or two, and the new autoresponder should show up in your autoresponder area in 1shop.
- Go to the alternate destination of the two autoresponder messages (AS Inner Circle Click Tracker), and put your email address there. If you forget this step, you won’t receive these notifications.
- Create two custom fields in 1shop: “epk” and “tracker” (name both the label and short name the same)
- Download click tracker file
- Open click.php in a text editor of some kind. We prefer Notepad ++. Update lines number 5,6 and 7 with your info. Line #7 is for the URL of your e-promo-kit (or whatever you’re sending them after they click the link). If the destination page is WordPress, make sure to add /.php to the end of the URL
- Save that file as the same name of your e-promo-kit and upload it to your AS folder via FTP. So if you’re e-promo-kit’s URL is [wlm_website]/corporate-e-promo-kit then, the name would be “corporate-e-promo-kit”.
- Test the link with your own values (name, email, etc.). Use the sample link below for the proper format.
- If you get the autoresponder notification, you’re looking pretty. Check to make sure the links work in the notification emails.
- To make an additional click tracker, simply repeat steps 4-7 and make sure to update the link in the epk autoresponder you send the prospect where it says “epk=NAME OF EPK”. Once again the best name is simply the name of the e-promo-kit as it is in your WordPress.
- Remember, for each additional click tracker, you simply need to re-create another click.php file and use the same autoresponder ID number you inherited in step 1.

Sample link to copy and paste into your browser to test once you have the file customized and uploaded to your AS folder:
[sourcecode language=”plain”]
[wlm_website]/AS/CLICK-TRACKER-NAME.php?Name=[wlm_firstname] [wlm_lastname]&email=[wlm_email]&epk=NAME OF EPK&auto=yes
[/sourcecode]
Here’s a sample link to insert into your autoresponder message in 1shop with the 1shop merge codes (the message that sends the epk link to the prospect)
[sourcecode language=”plain”]
[wlm_website]/AS/CLICK-TRACKER-NAME.php?Name=%$name$%&email=%$email$%&epk=NAME OF EPK&auto=yes
[/sourcecode]
