email - "mailto:"-link conversion tracking with Google Analytics via an e-mail forwarding service -


i make test scenario google analytics , "mailto:"-conversion tracking or better explained, want track how many inquiries have received via website.

the common way of tracking clicks on "mailto:"-link use "onmousedown" or "onclick" functions.

e.g. info@domain1.com info@domain1.com

the fear have is, more , more crawlers, scripts, spambots,... execute onclick / onmousedown commands. additionally not every visitor clicking on e-mail address sending e-mail. after "new message" windows opened, our tracking stops. want verify is, how many users sending e-mail instead of tracking how many people click on e-mail address.

the solution have in mind, without technical / development background "e-mail forwarding solution".

  1. inquiry@domain1.com shown @ website domain1.com inquiry e-mail address.
  2. inquiry@domain1.com automatically forwarding e-mails domain1@trackingurl.com
  3. domain1@trackingurl.com executing google analytics event (which quite simple) , again forwarding e-mails real email address, want have emails sent (e.g.: info@domain1.com)

questions

  • is "forwarding idea" 1 or there downsides?
  • how solve idea / issue?
  • is there open-source solution available forwarding part (as google analytics part not hard develop)?
  • which email engine/framework and/or programming language recommend use here?

the problem mailto: links tracking point of view open in separate program, cannot add tracking 'send ecent'.

rather having mailto: links, instead have email contact form. add google analytics tracking on form submit event.
