How to Use Text Messaging

Text messaging links are a great tool for marketers to track the effectiveness of their marketing campaigns. This is because most push notification links use URL shorteners that can double as UTM tracking links. These links make it easier to measure the effectiveness of your SMS marketing campaign.

Within TextSpot, this is how you can use the application’s link-shortening feature:

  • 1 Draft a new message to any of your contacts or lists. When you are ready to add a URL to your message select, “Add Link.”
  • 2 When the dialog box appears, insert the full link you want to track for metrics and select the checkbox labeled “Track link clicks” to ensure you can follow the activity for that particular link.
  • 3 You’ll see a confirmation message in the draft with your link included in a set of brackets. Each link you send to a recipient will have a unique six-digit string that goes out with your message. These digits are randomized for each contact for easier link tracking.
  • 4 Once you’ve created the draft of the message, you’ll see a preview of your shortened link within the preview screen.

With TextSpot, that’s all it takes to set up a unique link that you can use to track your recipient’s activity within your marketing campaign.
