KeenClickTracker (KCT)

A 'simple' email click tracker. Why? Because Tout can't do per link tracking & not everything justifies a MailChimp campaign. Also, I'm totally over open/read tracking pixels. I don't care if you read my email, I care if you clicked & converted.

KCT uses redirects from the Keen.io data-collection API.

Setup

Add your API keys, project ID, and target event collection to main.js and then launch index.html.

Create a tracked link

1. Define redirect URL (the link you want to track)
2. Add optional secondary parameters (ip/geo-ip are automatically collected)
3. Uncheck Test mode & click to Create tracking link
4. Copy and paste, but don't click, the link into your email.

View activity report

Click Refresh link or wait for 2 min auto-refresh. Every click (even your own) will be recorded along with date & time, ip, and Keen's best guess for city/country.

Ideas for improvement

• Create dropdowns/options for multiple collections so each user has their own collection.
• Security?
• Better styling & CSS cleanup
• Mobile styles and/or responsive design
• Expose more tracking parameters
• Add more default tracking parameters
• Sortable columns (implemented this earlier, but didn't like it)
• Your feedback here.
