Links you add to campaign sequence emails serve more than one purpose:
- They track engagement. Link clicks are recorded and taken into account on various reports. The links give email recipients a way to interact with the content you send to them.
- They serve specific purposes. Opt-in and opt-out links are designed to help you follow email marketing best practices and minimize spam complaints.
- They can satisfy campaign goals. The links you add to emails can be identified as a goal method that moves a contact from one campaign sequence to another.
