I’m trying to add the ability for people to give a thumbs up (or down) or vote on options in a newsletter but I’m unsure what tools I could use.
Sample:
How did you like today’s content?
******** - Loved it (selectable)*
***** - Eh…it was ok*
*** - Not my cup of tea*
I would have some similar in each tip in my news letter with a thumbs up and down option plus the “today’s content” for the weekly newsletter.
Any insight would be help.

Hi Terry!
I think a way you could try to track contacts interactions with content is by using link tracking: You can create trackable links for each option that lead to a thank you page:
- “Loved it” →
yourdomain.com/feedback?rating=loved
- “Eh, it was ok” →
yourdomain.com/feedback?rating=ok
- “Not my cup of tea” →
yourdomain.com/feedback?rating=dislike
Use link tracking in ActiveCampaign to see who clicked what, and tag contacts based on their responses.
Another way would be to integrate and use tools like Google Forms, Typeform, or Polls.ly!

hmmm. first, thanks for the info.
so is “rating” a special word? meaning if i had the 3 options, loved,ok & dislike but for something else i wanted just a thumbs up and down, can i call that ?vote=thumbsup and ?vote=thumbsdown or is ?rating a special keyword?
No, “rating” isn’t a special keyword at all! You can use whatever parameter name makes sense for your tracking.
You can absolutely use:
?vote=thumbsup and ?vote=thumbsdown?feedback=yes and ?feedback=no?response=good and ?response=bad?topic1=love and ?topic1=hate
The format is: ?[yourname]=[yourvalue]
It’s always a good idea to use descriptive names that make sense so when you’re looking at your link tracking data later you understand what you’re actually looking at!
?newsletter=thumbsup vs ?newsletter=thumbsdown?weeklytip=loved vs ?weeklytip=disliked
This way when you’re reviewing your link reports, you’ll immediately understand what each click represents.
