Update Click Tracking Settings

API Overview

You can track many of your recipients' interactions with your emails, including:

Opening emails
Clicking links
Subscribing to (or unsubscribing from) your emails

For more information about tracking, please see our Tracking Settings documentation.

Operation overview

PATCH/v3/tracking_settings/click

Base url: https://api.sendgrid.com (for global users and subusers)

Base url: https://api.eu.sendgrid.com (for EU regional subusers)

This endpoint allows you to enable or disable your current click tracking setting.

Click Tracking overrides all the links and URLs in your emails and points them to either SendGrid’s servers or the domain with which you branded your link. When a customer clicks a link, SendGrid tracks those clicks.

Click tracking helps you understand how users are engaging with your communications. SendGrid can track up to 1000 links per email

The on-behalf-of header allows you to make API calls from a parent account on behalf of the parent's Subusers or customer accounts. You will use the parent account's API key when using this header. When making a call on behalf of a customer account, the property value should be "account-id" followed by the customer account's ID (e.g., on-behalf-of: account-id <account-id>). When making a call on behalf of a Subuser, the property value should be the Subuser's username (e.g., on-behalf-of: <subuser-username>). See On Behalf Of for more information.
