What I want to do is create, or use something that will generate a unique key and attach that to a URL and send that URL to a user. This unique key will be inserted into a database with fields: User, sentDate, readDate, etc. etc… I want to then be able to run a report on what users have clicked on their unique, autogenerated URL.
For example, Joe Smith was sent an email saying something important and they need to fix so and so before they get fined thousands of dollars. To complete this they must click on http://www.someurl.com/TrackMe/dontF...1234567890a123
So Joe clicks on it, watches the video, a then click on a button that says, “I watched the video and understand what it said. I will be a good boy now… “ or some crap… So then the database updates the fields for readDate and readTime… or whatever and notifies the administrator that Joe Smith watched the video…
My question: Is there something already out there that I can use and develop on, or is this something I have to start from scratch on? I know its out there because I’ve used them before, but I haven’t found any examples of the code to look at. I’ve only seen the front end. |
