Step Four: On the right, underneath “Standard Objects,” expand the “Lead” category. Find the “Email Address” field and check the box. In the empty script space on the left of this same page, paste in the tracking code provided by Litmus. In the Litmus code, replace every instance of {{lead.Email Address}} with ${lead.Email}. Click Save to close the lightbox window and click “Save” again on the tokens page.

Step Five: Make note of the name of the token {{my.LitmusToken}}. Open the email you want to track. At the very bottom of your email, place your new script token. You can also add default information to match the Litmus version {{my.LitmusToken:default=editme}}.
