Unique URL in Email

[CWagner54]

We are currently setting up a new community and need to send out emails for recruitment. I know we can append a property to an already existing URL. However, we have a unique recruitment URL for each contact.

The URL was imported to a property on the contact object. I was trying to use that properties token as the URL for the button/link in the email but have been unsuccessful.

Has anybody ever done this before? Any help would be appreciated!

Hi @CWagner54,

What exactly did not work when you tried this? Could you be a bit more specific?

Best regards

Karsten,

We have 30,000 contacts who have their own unique recruitment link. I created a new property and imported the unique recruitment link to that property. 

I added the property internal value to the button URL hoping that it would insert that link to the button, just like it would if I wanted to append a URL with a unique identifier. However, that did not work.

I tried putting just the property as the URL. For example: {{recruitment_link}}

This brought up an error page after sending a test email to myself using a contact with that property value as the test contact for the test email.

Appreciate your help!

Thanks you for elaborating @CWagner54. Which error did you see exactly?

If you're trying to use the personalization token syntax, you're missing a piece, it would have to be {{ contact.recruitment_link }}

When you preview your email for your test contact, does the link work or not? https://knowledge.hubspot.com/marketing-email/how-can-i-optimize-my-email-for-mobile-devices
