Hi Harely, First of all, Thanks a lot for your contribution. Much appreciated. I have been using your solution here explained to face the same issue I had and is working perfectly but applying this solution my people from GA told me that clicks are not being registered in GA. Applying your solution here I can see that the click.info.xxx tracking link is not being created in MC. Could be this the problem for not tracking the clicks in GA ? Thanks in advance. Best
