Link Tracking
The link/ad tracker tool is designed to allow you to track your advertising campaigns. The way it works is that you can setup the various links you want to use and then instead of linking directly you use the tracking link WHMCS gives you. It then tracks the number of click throughs you get and ultimately conversions, providing an easy way to analyse how successful different promotions and links are.
How to add a tracked url
- Begin by going to Utilities > Link Tracking
- Click "Add a New Link"
- Enter a name to identify the link and then the URL the user should be forwarded to when followed
- Click Add Link
- The link has now been added for tracking
How to get the URL to use for tracking
- After adding the url for tracking, click the edit icon next to it
- The Link/URL field on the edit page will show the link you need to use - eg. http://demo.whmcs.com/link.php?id=1
- You then just link to that URL from wherever you run the promotion
How to monitor the links
- To see how your links are doing, just go to Utilities > Link Tracking
- It then lists the links you've setup for tracking, the number of clicks each has had and the number of conversions (orders)
Browser
The browser section allows you to have a communal list of links/favorites that all your staff have access to - for example you might add bookmarks for your domain registrar login page, server bandwidth monitoring pages, server tech support team, etc...
Calendar
The calendar lists all pending, active and suspended products, addons and domains on the dates they are due. It allows you to easily see at a glance upcoming payments. It also shows domains expirying for each date.
You can also add your own events and tasks to the calendar. These can be either one time events or regular recurring events (eg. server payments, admin tasks, etc...). To add an event, simply double click the date you want to add it on.
To-Do List
The to do list allows you to add tasks that need to be carried out, the dates they are due for completion by and the admin they are assigned to. To-Do Items can also have an unlimited length description for storing additional information about the task. Due items are shown on the admin homepage.
