[SOLVED] track email clicks to user

Just wondering if there is a simple way to track clicks on Contact User, and then report on hits by user?
I was thinking maybe an AutoAction that incremented a counter in the user profile, then a simple list that displays the user and email hits. Is there something that exists already?
Thanks,
Ed

How do I configure the AutoAction to apply the counter increment to the user receiving the email as opposed to the user/public sending the email?

Trigger: OnBeforeEmailUser
Type: Field
User: Automatic
Access: Everybody
Conditions: none

Field: cb_directory_email_count (Interger field)
Operator: Add (Field = Field + Value)
Value: 1
Translate Value: No
Save Directly: Yes

Uses: 0 Forever

Thanks

Do you mean you want to track hits to profile page? That's already included with CB using the hits field in CB > Field Management. Ensure "Record Views" within CB > Configuration > User Profile is set to "Yes" and hits will be tracked then you can use that field to display the hits. You can substitute it into emails using [hits] or even filter a userlist on that field.

Thanks Kyle.

Not clicks to a user profile, I need to track clicks to email the user through the email link in their profile.

The client wants to know how many emails are sent to users through the website.

Thanks.

Ah, you could create an integer field to hold those email hits. Next use the below auto action.

Global
Triggers: onBeforeEmailUser
Type: Field
User: Manually
User Variable: Variable 2
Action
Field: YOUR_INTEGER_FIELD_HERE
Operator: Add
Value: 1

That should increment the integer field up for the recipient user on email form use. It's important to manually set the user variable to variable 2 instead of automatic as that trigger contains 2 user objects with the first user object being the user sending the email so it'd end up incrementing the field for the sender not the recipient if left as automatic.

Thanks, Kyle works like a charm.
