When you import an email from your computer or the web into your account we automatically download all of the images it contains, to reference them from our servers instead of your own. We also convert every link found in the HTML. This is done so images and links can be tracked to produce your campaign reports.
But there are some cases with more complicated designs where you may not want this to happen. You can turn off link tracking and image downloading with two simple attributes, which can be added to individual link or image tags before you import a campaign.
Only approved accounts can disable link tracking and image downloading. It is not possible to turn off link tracking or image downloading in the email builder.
Turn off link tracking
If your email or template contains one or more links you don't want us to convert for tracking purposes, just add the cm_dontconvertlink attribute to the link element.
For example:
<a href="http://www.example.com" cm_dontconvertlink>this is a link</a>Turn off image downloading
If your email or template contains one or more images you don't want us to host on our own servers for tracking purposes, just add the cm_dontimportimage attribute to the image tag.
For example:
<img src="http://www.example.com/filename.jpg" width="20" height="20" alt="alt text here" cm_dontimportimage>While links aren't converted or images uploaded when we detect these values, we do remove the cm_dontimportimage and cm_dontconvertlink attributes from the final code when an email is sent.
