# Create & Share Tracking Links with Partners

You can assist your partners with creating tracking or vanity links and sharing them on an ad-hoc basis.

#### Create a tracking link

1. From the left navigation menu, select ![](https://4048883401-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FwMLlMoFBtKJa8ptd3zaw%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-230534471fef5f40808e921e41ee44e4a06ded03%2Fe6cb9548999afdc1ed3ce4942e4cb5b45b5cecbd323267aac2a7cd1915fccc09.svg?alt=media) **\[Engage]** → **Partners** → **Partners**.
2. From your partner list, hover over the partner for whom you want to create a tracking link, then select ![](https://4048883401-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FwMLlMoFBtKJa8ptd3zaw%2Fuploads%2FMLtRUwWz0pujlfmYWOgg%2FMoreVN.svg?alt=media\&token=03a3c355-a347-4207-baf7-c44fadf6d080) **\[More]** → **Tracking** → **Create a link**.
3. Optionally, specify an alternative landing page and select **Advanced** to add Sub IDs, a [Shared ID](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/contracts-and-template-terms/contracts/dynamically-pay-partners-with-the-shared-id.md), or a verified partner property to the tracking link for reporting purposes.

   <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p><strong>Note:</strong> Sub IDs are optional and partners use them for additional tracking values.</p></div>
4. Select **Create**.

   * To edit the URL protocol, select the **URL protocol** ![](https://4048883401-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FwMLlMoFBtKJa8ptd3zaw%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-c2cb550b55c51ea1eeff0acbd6f437a03b621a2c%2F60d033ae8a04c14498d5229c3c0160ac05feea7f605dbd770741793c900469f0.svg?alt=media) **\[Drop-down menu]**.
     * **https\://**—The link will only use the secure version of HTTP.
     * **http(s)://**—The link will attempt to use the secure version of HTTP and will use unsecured HTTP as a fallback.
   * To create a custom short link (aka a vanity link), select ![](https://4048883401-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FwMLlMoFBtKJa8ptd3zaw%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-f80b4972f1093fe676c65fe5018fb55ca5c00308%2F059dd4194b579d17193227e33dfa1fe0475b0089a93e202b16f8902ffc532178.svg?alt=media) **\[Edit]**, change the URL path, and select ![](https://4048883401-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FwMLlMoFBtKJa8ptd3zaw%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-4e2eb56f7a0317e4afab899bcc5728b41c936979%2F156d94b4eae47d787101ad70424e4db735832f2f96a09cbe3ccfa3e08e408b05.svg?alt=media) **\[Checkmarked]**.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.impact.com/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/reach-out-to-partners/generate-leads/create-and-share-tracking-links-with-partners.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
