The links in my emails keep changing to a weird, broken format, once I send.  They are fine in testing, but then turn into something wonky like this: 

 

What is going on?

Hello @KellyH9 ,

 

This is how click reporting works, as the system needs to rewrite the links so they both redirect those navigating to them from your email, as well as track who is accessing the links and when through your emails.

Yes but the links are not redirecting. You click the link and it says it can't be found. So I sent the email, it created the redirects, but they aren't going anywhere.

The link provided went through right away on my end without issue. Try checking to make sure no browser extensions, ad/pop-up blockers, VPN, or other security software you're running is blocking the link from opening properly. If any are, you may need to get our domains safelisted in that program.
