How do I append member_id or cons_id to the end of a URL in an e-mail?

linton.myers · October 2007

We are trying to append either the member_id or cons_id field to the end of a URL string. The reason for this is to create a unique URL for every e-mail message recipient (something that we need for an external survey tool we are using). Unfortunately, when I try to do this through either the WYSIWYG or plain text editor (e.g. add field to <A href=> tag), it causes the URL string to break (due to the extra quotation marks and "<" signs). Any suggestions?

I would also like to append a tag to the end of a url. I want to append the transaction code because we have developed a servlet that actually streams back a .jpg, so you can put it in an HTML document as an image:

like <img src="../<transaction code>.jpg"/> this would then post the transaction code as a bar code but it has some problems because of the same issues.

I would suggest you try the following:

<a href="pagename.html?cons_id=]">linktext</a>

<a href="pagename.html?member_id=]">linktext</a>
