Remove Link Tracking in Test Email Sends

[the2ne]

Objective:

The primary objective is to eliminate link tracking in test emails. Currently, links are being rewritten by SendGrid with a custom domain http://lplink.badsender.com/ls/click?upn=X, causing certificate errors and domain mismatch issues between badsender.com and SendGrid. Removing link tracking simplifies email control and allows marketers to retain the original user-entered links for testing purposes.

Functional Description:

The current setup involves link tracking by SendGrid, which rewrites links in test emails. This rewriting process has led to certificate and domain-related problems between badsender.com and SendGrid. Since tracking is neither necessary nor desired for test emails, we aim to preserve the links exactly as entered by the user, making it easier for marketers to manage emails and URLs.

To-Do:

• Review Existing Link Tracking Process:
  Examine the current method by which SendGrid performs link tracking for test emails.

• Disable Link Tracking for Test Emails:
  Implement changes in the email sending process to ensure that link tracking is disabled specifically for test emails.

• Preserve User-Entered Links:
  Modify the system to retain the original links as entered by the user without any rewriting or tracking.

Additional Notes:
Care should be taken to ensure that the removal of link tracking does not adversely affect email deliverability for account creation emails.
