Here is the code that I use for the text version of our emails:
To view this email as a web page, click here <[[{{system.viewAsWebpageLink}}]]>
And this is what you see in your inbox.
Normally the links in our text versions get shortened.
For example, this is how another link in our body copy looks:
Why not the view as webpage link too? Is this the same result everyone sees? Am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks
It's because view as webpage is a system token that doesn't get tracked
That's correct! But not because it's a system token. It's because it's a token, period.
If you simply check the automatically managed "Include View as Web Page" option on the email --
-- then clicks on the View as Web Page link will be tracked.
A link like
<a href="{{system.viewAsWebpageLink}}">doesn't get tracked for the same reason any (non-Velocity) token that contains a full URL doesn't get tracked: if the protocol is in the token, Marketo doesn't rewrite the link.
If you want a self-managed Web Page link that still is tracked, build the link to
<a href="https://pages.example.com/index.php/email/emailWebview">
