How do you track a "link click" from an SMS? It's pretty simple πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

  • Shorten your "actual link" βœ‚οΈ
  • Send that "shortened link" in SMS πŸ“²
  • User clicks on "shortened link" in SMS and opens it up in browser 🀏
  • Boom, that's a click πŸ₯³ (Increment your clicks stats)
  • Now you can redirect them to "actual link" β™Ί

That's how all link click tracking works actually πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Let's take a look at Twitter as an example:

When you click on any link shared inside a tweet, Twitter first redirects you to a url https://t.co. That's how link clicks are calculated in Twitter analytics.

bit.ly works the same πŸ˜‰

I hope someone finds it useful πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
