By implementing a matching ID (in the form of either an X-header or a body tag) in your email campaigns, you can assist Everest in uniquely identifying your campaigns.
X-header
Simply include an additional header named X-250ok-CID with a unique value for each campaign. You may need to work with your ESP to include this header.
Body tag
For users who don't have the ability to inject a header into outgoing email, we offer the ability to embed a tag in the HTML body of your email. Simply include, anywhere in the body, a tag that looks like this:
<!-- X-250ok-CID: uniqueid1234567890 -->
Creating the matching header or body tag
Some best practices for creating a unique value for your header or body tag include:
- Do not include any spaces in the value.
- All X-250ok-CID values should be unique PER CAMPAIGN.
- Prefix your campaign value with a company name or nickname.
- Consider including a timestamp in your value to help ensure uniqueness. For example: acme_202010221045 or acme_2020-10-22-1045
Everest will look for the following matching ID types by default:
- X-250ok-CID
