Quick Links
Intro
The Deadline Funnel email links play a key part in our tracking system, and are essential for making sure that your subscribers see the correct timers on your page and in their emails.
In this article, we will outline how you can find and use your Deadline Funnel email links.
How to Use Email Links
When you add a new page to your Deadline Funnel campaign, an email link is automatically generated for that specific page.
1. Add a Page
Open your campaign editor, and add a new page to your campaign. If you have already added your pages, you can skip this step:
2. Copy the email link
An email link has now been generated for your page. You can find your email links in the Emails tab on the left side of your campaign editor:
Add the Deadline Funnel Email Links to Your Emails
The email links contain specific tracking parameters that only work in your emails.
In your email sequence, you should always use the Deadline Funnel email links whenever you are linking to your offer.
Here is an example of how you can add the email links in Drip:
Now, when someone receives your emails and clicks on the Deadline Funnel email link, Deadline Funnel will look up that subscriber's email address and automatically redirect them to either your special offer page or the expiration page.
Email Link Clicks in Analytics
You can track the email link clicks in your campaign. You can see when a lead clicked on the link and to which page they were redirected.
This is how you can see the email link clicks in your campaign.
1. Open Campaign Analytics
Open your campaign editor and click on Open Analytics on the right side of the screen:
2. Select Email Clicks
On your Analytics page, you should click on Leads and change it to Email Clicks:
3. Look Up Email Link Clicks
From here, you will be able to see who clicked on an email link, from where, and to which page they were redirected:
Deleting Email Links
Please note that if you delete a page timer in the Pages section of your campaign, the corresponding email link will also be deleted.
Make sure to update your email sequence to use the current email links in your campaign if you do delete a page timer.
Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What if I'm using an email platform that is not listed in your integrations?
A: Every email link has a special email placeholder at the end of it that is specific to the email platform you are using.

If your email platform is not listed as an option, select 'Other' and then change the "?em=[email]" parameter at the end of the email link to "?em= *whatever the email address placeholder is for your platform*.
