Using tokens for pdf downloads

I am new to Marketo and am currently setting up all of our nuture programs.  Many of these email campaigns include a pdf to download.  I have uploaded all of the pdfs to the Design Studio for easy access.  I am using the my Tokens to pull the correct download for each email.

In the Smart List, I have a trigger pointing to the Click Link in Email, which pulls http://{{my.Offer URL}} for the pdf.  I am able to activate the campaign and run a test send,  when I click in the test email, my campaign is not registering the click.  When I replace the token with the actual link, it doesn't work either.

Isn't the purpose of tokens to make tasks like this easier?  Am I missing something?

Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Figured this out - I'm using the Clicks Links in Email trigger, but using contains .pdf and then specifiying which email the pdf is in.  Using the token in the trigger just doesn't register a clicked link.

Thanks for your help Naor!

Test emais send dummy tracking code. Try it with actually executing the campaign with your own email in the smart list ("email address= " filter and use your own email)
