The SMS & Email Bot Click Protection feature introduces advanced mechanisms to filter out automated bot clicks while ensuring a seamless experience for real users. This enhancement improves click tracking accuracy for SMS and Email campaigns by preventing artificial engagement from security scanners and automated crawlers. ## How It Works When enabled, SMS & Email bot protection automatically applies to all links. Bots attempting to click links are redirected to an empty verification page. Legitimate users experience a smooth redirect to the intended destination. Any detected bot clicks are excluded from analytics. ## Improved Click Analytics Accuracy Removes bot clicks from campaign performance reports. Ensures only genuine interactions are counted in engagement metrics. > [!NOTE] > How to Enable > > To enable Advanced SMS & Email Bot Filtering, please contact our [support team](/documentation/docs/contact-us) with your project details.
