Outbound Link Tracking

Automatically track clicks on external links.

How it works

Revlytics detects clicks on <a> elements that point to external domains. An external_link event is fired with the link details.

Captured data

Field	Description
link_url	The destination URL
text	The link’s text content
target	The target attribute (e.g., _blank)

Example

If your page has:

<a href="https://github.com/revlytics" target="_blank">View on GitHub</a>

Clicking it sends:

{
  "type": "external_link",
  "link_url": "https://github.com/revlytics",
  "text": "View on GitHub",
  "target": "_blank"
}

No configuration needed

Outbound link tracking is enabled automatically. All clicks on links with a different hostname than the current page are tracked.
