Sending an email from a .Net application to recipients, I want to retrieve the email of the recipient who clicked the link

Question

If I am sending an email from a .Net application to recipient A and recipient B, containing a link to a website. How can I retrieve the email of the recipient who clicked the link, and save it in the Database?

Answer 1

You need to send separate emails; this will not work with one email with multiple recipients.

Generate a random token for each user, and in the email for each user have a link with that token in the querystring. When they follow the link, you can check the querystring in your server and thus find out who clicked on it.
