Track visitors using CRM Identifiers

You can use CRM Identifier links in emails to track and identify visitors from CRM on your website. These emails are sent from the Leads/Contacts modules. When the visitor clicks the link, he/she is directed to the website page.

Now, the Name and Email of the recipient is attached to the identifier link and the SalesIQ Identifier parameters identify the visitors. After the SalesIQ identifies the visitor, the visitor activities such as details under Visit summary, Source, Visits are tracked and updated in the Leads/Contacts module in you CRM account.
