A client recently went live with a Commerce Cloud website / Marketing Cloud integration. Marketing Cloud is sending a Shipping Confirmation triggered email.

The tracking link in the Shipping Confirmation email won't resolve properly because of the WAC string.

Is there a way to disable the WAC string for a specific link using AMPscript or by any other method? Any other potential workarounds?

Yes. Here's a workaround to prevent the addition of WAC parameters using AMPscript:

%%[ 
var @URL, @Link
Set @URL = "http://www.salesforce.com" 

Set @Link = Concat('<a href=',@URL,' alias="Link">Link Test</a>') 
]%% 

%%=v(@Link)=%%

    Seems like there should be double-quotes around the href value. And the v() function isn't necessary inside the concat().

  • @AdamSpriggs I just tested both solutions with or without the v() function and double or single quotes and both resulted in the exact same output.

    No shade on your post, just calling it out.

    Thanks guys! I was having trouble getting this to work, but figured it out. I just wanted to share on here in case any other AMPscript noobs come across this post. IF you are pulling in your link from a DE like I am (%%TrackingURL%%), then setting the URL should look like this: Set @URL = TrackingURL (no quotes or percent signs) I'm sure this is obvious to you two, but that took me a little while to figure out.
