Yeji JeonWritten by Yeji Jeon,

If you need to create a large amount of tracking links at once or need to repeatedly generate tracking links, you can create them easily by using the Tracking Link Generator available in Google Spreadsheets. Tracking Link Generator is a Google Sheet Application that created by Tracking Link Generation API via Google AppScript. It's available for all Airbridge clients.

 

How to Use

1) Please make a copy of the below templates corresponding to your channel type.

In 'Configs' tab from a copied sheet, fill up the app_nameand tracking_link_api_token. app_name and api_token can be found in Airbridge Dashboard > Settings > Tokens. You can use App Name (Unique ID) and Tracking Link API Token.

Please ensure to use the Tracking Link API Token, not API Token.
