Capturing Email IP

Product Support
1

Hi there,



Here’s the scenario: I’ve received a phone call from a potential lead. I will set them up as a “contact” in mautic. I will then send my potential lead a “who we are” email and include links to our blog which further explains our process.



What i would like is to then click into the new leads contact and know which pages my new lead has visited within my website.



Is there some parameters I can append to my website URL that will allow mautic capture the users IP address?

@michaelcolman , this doesn’t actually have anything to do with IP right?

This is simply about tracking leads and page views. Are you hosting the blog pages within a mautic environment (in which case, you basically get what you want for free). If not, someone can probably give a simple solution to get what you are after (@MxyzptlkFishStix and @ninjoan - I’m looking at you oh clever and wise ones).

If you really want to capture user IP addresses, again - Mautic does that for free out of the box when someone comes to a landing page. If you aren’t using mautic landing pages, you might need some clever code to post the IP and email address through and link that to your Mautic contact.

This comes out of the box. There are only two important things:

  1. Your contact needs to be in Mautic
  2. You send him a pre-defined (template) email out of Mautic

Mautic will then record email opens, page hits and asset downloads.

@PeterTL
Thanks for your response. I was thinking that I would send the email from email client. But maybe you’re right, if I send that initial email from Mautic, it would get around what i’m trying to achieve.

@JoPitts
Thanks for your response. I have my blog hosted on a WordPress website. I think you’re right about the clever code. As i’m on the wordpress site i’ll look to see if there is a way we can write a script to post to a Gravity Forms which can then post to Mautic.

If I find a solution i’ll let you guys know.

Thanks.
