How do you track a "link click" from an SMS? It's pretty simple π€·π»ββοΈ
- Shorten your "actual link" βοΈ
- Send that "shortened link" in SMS π²
- User clicks on "shortened link" in SMS and opens it up in browser π€
- Boom, that's a click π₯³ (Increment your clicks stats)
- Now you can redirect them to "actual link" βΊ
That's how all link click tracking works actually π€·π»ββοΈ
