# 1. Setup Tracking Pixel

### Introduction

One of the unique features of LeadBoxer is the option to track the behaviour of all the marketing emails you send out. To accomplish this, we provide a generic email tracking pixel for all accounts. You can use this tracking pixel free of charge. We use the same generic tracking pixel in all our tutorials and documentation.

## Improve Tracking with a Custom Tracking Domain

Enhancing your email marketing campaigns with a custom tracking domain not only improves brand consistency but also ensures accurate tracking as some email clients and email providers block tracking pixels from 3rd party domains. Follow this guide to set up your custom tracking domain for using Leadboxer.

### Step 1: Configure Your DNS

To begin, you'll need to create a CNAME record in your DNS settings

* **Name:** Choose a subdomain like `logo.yourdomain.com`
* **Value:** Point this to `pixel.leadboxer.com`

Save your changes. Keep in mind that DNS propagation can take up to 24 hours.

### Step 2: Update Leadboxer Settings

Next, log into your Leadboxer account and add your tracking domain:

1. Navigate to [Custom Tracking Domain](https://app.leadboxer.com/integrations-connectors/email/custom-tracking-domain)
2. Add your new tracking domain and verify it
3. Once verified, click save and wait 60 seconds
4. Ensure the status shows "Verified" after DNS propagation

### Step 3: Implement the Tracking Domain

1. Replace the default tracking pixel URL with your custom domain\
   For example:\
   track.leadboxer.com --> logo.mydomain.com
2. Ensure all outgoing emails use the new tracking domain for consistency and accuracy

### Benefits

* **Branding:** Maintain a consistent brand presence
* **Improved Deliverability:** Reduce spam risks with matching domains
* **Enhanced Analytics:** Achieve more accurate tracking data

# 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.leadboxer.com/leadboxer/capture-website-and-email/email/marketing-emails/create-tracking-pixel.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.
