Email Tickets contain the reporting metrics for email sends. The Email Ticket is generated as soon as the email begins sending. The metrics will update as the email sends and during the retry process.

- Replace Entire URL updates the full URL that is stored in the database. This option should be used in cases where iTL is not present in the URL
- Search and Replace allows you to specify an expression to replace part of the URL. It does not update the URL in the database but instead replaces the string as part of the tracking redirector. This option must be used in cases where iTL is present in the URL. Note the expression is matched against the URL after iTL substitutions have been done.
- Click Ok once your edits are complete.
The URL update will be reflected only on the sending definition for the mailing. The actual email that was sent will not be updated.
A URL cannot be updated from the Links Tab for an Automation that is currently In Progress. The Automation must first be paused or stopped for the URL to be updated.
