Set up a shared secret

Create a shared secret for the Ee Parameter and HTML API.

Updated over a week ago

The shared secret is used to decrypt email addresses in the Ee parameter in links to your website or data using our HTML API. This allows you to track links from your emails to your website using an encrypted email address in the query collection, instead of using a plaintext email address by default.


Before you start

Things you need to know:
