Use custom redirects to track banner ad clicks, links to third-party sites, links on
social media, and access to files hosted outside of Account Engagement. Clicks are tracked as an
activity on a prospect’s record. You can get an overview of the redirect’s performance with the
custom redirect report.

Keep these considerations in mind when using custom redirects.
Completion actions apply only to existing prospects. They don’t apply to visitors who
convert to prospects after clicking a custom redirect. However, the click does appear in their
prospect activity after they convert.
When you archive a custom redirect, it still works.
Custom redirects have a throttling period of 30 minutes. After a prospect clicks a custom
redirect, subsequent clicks are recorded after 30 minutes.
Autoresponder completion actions are throttled for 4 hours.
Open the Custom Redirects page.
In Account Engagement, select Marketing | Content | Custom Redirects.
In the Lightning app, select Content and then
Custom Redirects.
Click +Add Custom Redirect.
Enter a name for use in prospect activity and reporting.
Choose a campaign.
Choosing a campaign doesn’t overwrite a prospect’s existing campaign.
Enter the target URL.
To track activity on pages with Google Analytics tracking code, add parameters.
To trigger activities after someone visits a custom redirect page, add completion actions.
Completion actions aren’t retroactive and don’t execute on visitors who haven’t converted
to prospects yet.
When you’re done, click Create Custom Redirect.
Use the tracked or short URL anywhere you want to track activity.
