Exclude certain domains from creating tracking links?

[Lakjin]

We have links in our email that are unique per subscriber and this is creating a lot of spam in our database because mailwizz is creating a tracking link for each of those unique URLs. Think 10 unique links per subscriber per campaign, so each campaign is creating millions of tracking URLs.

These unique links are on a separate domain than our other links. Is there anyway to exclude the domain of those URLs from creating tracking links?

If you add a query param to your link like called disable-tracking and you give it the value 1, MailWizz will not track it.
For example:

https://www.mailwizz.com/pricing?param=1&disable-tracking=1

// or

https://www.mailwizz.com/pricing?disable-tracking=1

etc

Also, MailWizz will remove the disable-tracking=1 part after it's done processing the links, so the final url will not have it

Great, thanks.

How can I delete the millions of already created tracking links? Is it safe to delete those specific links from "campaign_url" table or are there other tables I should also delete them from?

So I tested this and this does disable tracking but MailWizz is NOT stripping disable-tracking=1 from the links, so the final URL has it.

@laurentiu - Can you please check this?

Yes, but keep in mind you'll lose all stats related to click tracking.

I don't mind losing the click tracking. Is there a built in MailWizz function to delete the URLs in the "campaign_url" table? Or should I just do it manually?

I check and it's working correctly, disable-tracking is removed from the links.

This is the only way for now

Not for me it is not. Perhaps it depends on when disable-tracking=1 is being added? I am replacing shortcodes using the campaigns_get_common_tags_search_replace filter and adding disable-tracking=1 then.
