Setup Dedicated Click Tracking with Netlify

Question

We wanted to implement Klaviyo dedicated click tracking on our website with respect to our emails (https://help.klaviyo.com/hc/en-us/articles/7676795223707).
Our website is hosted on Netlify and makes use of Netlify CDN. We make use of AWS Route53 as an external DNS and Klaviyo is the third party used for sending emails.
We wanted to implement this dedicated click tracking feature making use of Netlify CDN without making use of any additional CDN like Clouldflare etc.
We have tried the above making use of Netlify toml file to create a redirect but that didnt work and Klaviyo is not able to validate the CNAME.

Looking forward to any pointers/ suggestions on how to go about implementing this feature leveraging Netlify CDN and Klaviyo.

Hi @psl_2110! The first step in this process is to update the records with your DNS. If I’m understanding you correctly, AWS is your DNS provider which is where you should be entering your CNAME records, not in Netlify. I’m not super familiar with AWS, butnot all domain registration services allow you to edit all DNS records. If you cannot update records in AWS, reach out to them to find out how!

@kaila.lawrence Thanks for your response. We have managed to setup the DNS in AWS. That is not the issue. We are not sure how to go about setting up the SSL for this new subdomain that klaviyo has requested to create as per the documentations.
This is still an OPEN topic.
