Bypass SendGrid Click Tracking

### 1. Disable Click Tracking in SendGrid
You can turn off click tracking for specific emails by adjusting the settings in SendGrid's API call or SMTP configuration.

– If you are using the SendGrid API, you can include the `click_tracking` setting in your email payload and set it to `false`:

{
  "personalizations": [
    {
      "to": [{"email": "recipient@example.com"}],
      "subject": "Subject Here"
    }
  ],
  "from": {"email": "from@example.com"},
  "content": [
    {
      "type": "text/plain",
      "value": "This is the email body with a link: https://example.com"
    }
  ],
  "tracking_settings": {
    "click_tracking": {
      "enable": false,
      "enable_text": false
    }
  }
}

### 2. Use Plain Links
Another approach is to use plain links in your emails instead of links generated through SendGrid's tracking mechanism. This involves:

– Manually creating links in your WordPress emails without using any SendGrid features that modify them.

### 3. Modify WordPress Email Functionality
If you are using a plugin to send emails, you might need to modify its settings. Some plugins allow you to customize the way links are generated:

– Check the settings of your email plugin (like WooCommerce, WP Mail SMTP, or any other email sending plugin) to see if you can disable or bypass SendGrid's link modifications.

### 4. Use a Custom Link Format
You can encode links to include a query parameter that your site recognizes and ignores when generating emails. For instance, you might use:

$link = 'https://example.com?noclicktrack=1';

Then ensure your site processes this correctly without tracking.

### 5. Contact Support
If you're unsure about how to proceed or if you need more specific guidance, consider reaching out to SendGrid's support or checking their documentation for the latest options regarding click tracking.

By implementing one of these methods, you should be able to bypass SendGrid's click tracking in your WordPress emails.

### 1. Disable Click Tracking in SendGrid for Password Reset Emails
When sending password reset emails via SendGrid, you can disable click tracking specifically for these emails. If you are using the WordPress `wp_mail` function, you may need to customize the email sending process.

#### Example: Customizing the Password Reset Email

1. **Hook into the Password Reset Process**:
You can hook into the `retrieve_password` action to customize the password reset email.

2. **Modify the Email Sending Function**:
Here’s an example of how to modify the password reset email to bypass click tracking:

add_action('retrieve_password', 'custom_send_password_reset_email', 10, 2);

   function custom_send_password_reset_email($user_login, $user) {
       $key = get_password_reset_key($user);
       $reset_url = add_query_arg(['key' => $key, 'login' => rawurlencode($user_login)], wp_login_url());

       $message = __('Click the link below to reset your password:') . "rnrn";
       $message .= '<a href="' . esc_url($reset_url) . '">' . esc_url($reset_url) . '</a>';

       // Use SendGrid API or SMTP to send email without click tracking
       // Here's an example with the SendGrid API:
       sendgrid_send_email($user->user_email, 'Password Reset', $message);
   }

   function sendgrid_send_email($to, $subject, $content) {
       // Replace with your SendGrid API sending logic
       $email = new SendGridMailMail();
       $email->setFrom("from@example.com", "Your Name");
       $email->setSubject($subject);
       $email->addTo($to);
       $email->addContent("text/html", $content);
       $email->setTrackingSettings((new SendGridMailTrackingSettings())->setClickTracking(false, false));

       $sendgrid = new SendGrid('YOUR_SENDGRID_API_KEY');
       try {
           $response = $sendgrid->send($email);
           return $response;
       } catch (Exception $e) {
           error_log('Caught exception: '. $e->getMessage());
       }
   }

### 2. Use a Plugin to Customize Emails
If you prefer not to code, consider using a plugin that allows you to customize the password reset emails. Some plugins have options to disable click tracking or to send emails via SendGrid with your desired settings.

### 3. Edit the wp-config.php (if applicable)
You may also have the option to configure settings globally in your `wp-config.php` file, depending on how you are sending emails through SendGrid.

define('SENDGRID_DISABLE_CLICK_TRACKING', true);

*Note*: Ensure that your setup supports this configuration, as this is just an illustrative example.

### 4. Ensure Email Links Are Generated Without Tracking
When generating the reset password link, make sure it is generated correctly without any tracking parameters.

### Conclusion
By customizing the password reset email process and ensuring that the reset link is sent without SendGrid’s click tracking, you should be able to bypass tracking for those specific emails. If you need further assistance, feel free to ask!
