How do we track clicks for a specific offer using Tel link tokens?

Hi Community,

My company started as a call center and still generates a lot of revenue from calls.

The problem is, how do we track clicks on specific offers on our "Call To" links which use tokens?

For example, below we're offering a 7-Night river trip and below that a Hawaiian islands trip. Both CTA use my tokens which are set up like this: tel:+1-800-822-4368

Is it possible to add a utm param to the token to track or would that break the token/link and/or Marketo tracking?

 

 

Thanks,

LK

Interpretation of tel: link with an unexpected query string indeed varies by platform. The reason why we include 'mktNoTok' in the class of the tel links. For example, for me, the parameters come through okay when I view the email in the web Gmail on my Desktop. However, the parameters don't come through correctly as a part of the URL on my mobile's Gmail app.

Thanks @darshil_shah1 , that makes sense. 

 

It sounds like it's not possible to track clicks on tel: links then?

You can’t track tel: links and also expect them to be functional (i.e. open the phone app and dial).
