Hi

I am creating Text SMS Channel and need to place URL.

when i added “[https://google.com](https://google.com)”, the campaign failed.

When I added “[Http://google.com](Http://google.com)”, I did received the message with the link but Link was not “[Http://google.com](Http://google.com)”

instead it was

“[https://buildspotless.com/r/4ebaede426eadfd0f19c09243?ct=YTozOntzOjc6ImNoYW5uZWwiO2E6Mzp7aTowO3M6Mzoic21zIjtpOjE7aTo5O3M6Mzoic21zIjtpOjk7fXM6NDoic3RhdCI7czoyMjoiNjA5MGY5NjJjOGY5ODAzMjcxMzQwMiI7czo0OiJsZWFkIjtzOjM6IjcxNyI7fQ%3D%3D](https://buildspotless.com/r/4ebaede426eadfd0f19c09243?ct=YTozOntzOjc6ImNoYW5uZWwiO2E6Mzp7aTowO3M6Mzoic21zIjtpOjE7aTo5O3M6Mzoic21zIjtpOjk7fXM6NDoic3RhdCI7czoyMjoiNjA5MGY5NjJjOGY5ODAzMjcxMzQwMiI7czo0OiJsZWFkIjtzOjM6IjcxNyI7fQ%3D%3D)”

Hi, you can disable sms link tracking when you open the Twilio plugin settings.  
Set it to yes.

Hi @joeyk, it worked like charm. Thank you.

Hope there is no issue if I keep it in yes mode only.

Thanks

Any ideas where the SMS links tracking is showing in automation, I see it activated in the Twilio plugin configuration but where do I track each click?

Thanks

That toggle must have get lost… its not there anymore to switch off 🤨.  
Can this be done in the config settings?

For SMS thats a killer.

@joeyk do you know how to switch click tracking off? Maybe in local.php?

This is a very old thread, I think the setting is in the Twilio Plugin.  
The stats should be visible for each SMS.

Its now in Mautic Settings, not in the plugin anymore. Which is a surprise, because the setting from the plugin gets lost when updating the system.
