Question regarding Email Templates

[bradthewanderer]

I am using the Community Edition of Sugar CRM Version 5.1.0 (Build 4732). I have a question regarding the email templates section, in the area after you have set up an email template and click on edit you have an area called: insert variable and in there you have the option to choose several things. One of which is Contact/Lead/Target and then next to it you can pull down a list of more things to select such as Tracker Key on the very bottom of that list, what exactly does that Tracker Key do?

Thank you for any help in advance.

Hi Brad,

Wander on over to the Sugar University section of the website, click on Online Library, then the Marketing tab, and finally the link that says "Create and Embed Tracker URLs" for an explanation of this feature.

Thanks I think that answers my question.

I'm not sure that answers it for me.... I know what a Tracker URL is, but what is a Tracker Key and what is it used for? I can see that each Target, for example, has a Tracker Key, and I know this is a field I can validate against when I do an import for Targets, but what exactly is this?.... The documentation I've seen only talks about Tracker URL's, not Tracker Key's... Please clarify.

Thanks,
Matt
