A tracking domain is a critical feature in email marketing that allows you to monitor recipient activity such as opens, clicks, and other engagement metrics.
It enables branding and ensures better deliverability by masking third-party tracking URLs with your custom domain. The SenderWiz application provides a simple and intuitive interface to set up a tracking domain effortlessly.
Steps to Create a Tracking Domain in SenderWiz
Navigate to the Tracking Domain Section:
Go to the Domains and click on Tracking Domains button.
Click on the Create New button to begin the setup.
Fill in the Tracking Domain Details:
Customer: Select the customer for whom this tracking domain is being configured.
Name: Enter your tracking domain (e.g., tracking.your-domain.com). Ensure this subdomain is configured in your DNS records before proceeding.
Skip Verification: Choose whether to skip domain verification. This is usually set to No unless you’re sure the domain is pre-configured correctly.
Scheme: Select the protocol to use. You can choose between HTTP or HTTPS. Using HTTPS is recommended for secure tracking.
Save the Changes:
Click on the Save Changes button to finalize the setup.
DNS Configuration for Tracking Domain
Before saving the changes in SenderWiz, ensure that your tracking domain (tracking.your-domain.com) is properly configured in your DNS. Typically, you need to add a CNAME record pointing your tracking domain to the designated server provided by SenderWiz.
Example DNS Configuration:
Type: CNAME
Name: tracking
Value: app.our-email-url.com (or the appropriate value provided by the application URL)
TTL: 3600 (or default)
To find the correct Value (the App URL), click on the highlighted button below.
Benefits of Using a Tracking Domain
Improved Deliverability: Custom tracking domains align with your branding, reducing spam flags and increasing email deliverability.
Enhanced Branding: Recipients see your domain, which builds trust.
Detailed Analytics: Accurately tracks recipient interactions like opens and clicks.
Compliance: Helps ensure compliance with spam regulations by avoiding shared domains.
Important Notes:
Ensure your domain has SSL configured if you plan to use the HTTPS scheme.
If you're unsure about DNS settings, consult your domain registrar or hosting provider.
