create a url on an email template that will contain id={{Contact.id}}

[drorzp1]

so i want to create an email template with a link url.

the link url shoud be similair to www.aaa.com?id  = {Contact.id }} 

while id is the Unique identifier of the contact i sent this email to.

is there any way to do it ? 

i know i can inject {{Contact.Name} into the email content. but did not see  a way 

to dynamically create a link based on Contact properties and especially the Contact  unique id

Unfortunately {{contact.id}} isn't available as a HubSpot personalization token, but you can use {{contact.email}} as a unique identifier.

- see How to distribute multiple unique links with one email?

thanks will test it but from some reason dont feel to comftable sending the contact email as a query string

Wondering if you found an alternative. We don't want to use email in querystring to avoid this being captured by our Analytics tool in the target website, mainly for privacy concerns.

Thanks!

In case anyone's interested, when I approached support, they suggested I could add my own custom contact property, which can then be embedded in the email as {{contact.myproperty}}, so that's an option.

[MFrankJohnson]

The focus of this thread was/is the UNIQUE identifier {{contact.id}} or a suitable unique substitute.

You could certainly use a custom contact property. However, you will then need to take 100% responsibility for the uniqueness of those values -- which is precisely what we're trying to avoid having to do.

Still think some partially obfuscated version of the email address may be a reliable solution. [Details communicated privately.]

Understood. However, as of this writing, it's the only guaranteed UNIQUE contact property in the CRM that's also available for use as a personalization token. (that we are aware of)
