Click Tracking Refinement for Link Shortening now available in Private Beta!

Click Tracking Refinement for Link Shortening is a feature designed to help you gain a full understanding of your users’ engagement from the moment that you send a message all the way down to the individual click. For background, Apple’s and Google’s messaging applications support both automatic link previews (aka bot previews) as well as ‘Tap to load’ link preview functionality, which may lead to confusion around what is considered a real ‘click’, thereby blurring engagement analytics as a result. Twilio’s Link Shortening feature now supports bot preview distinction from human-generated clicks in its click events. This provides you with a highly accurate representation of click through rate (CTR) metrics as well as 100% confidence in the validity of click tracking data.
