# Action Network ID attached

#### Don't use links that you've copied out of other emails

This is **very important**: links copied from other Action Network emails contain tracking links; people's personal Action Network ID's etc. 

The error you get is a pop-up box list this...

![you appear to have a link with an Action Network ID attached](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/uploads/images/gallery/2022-01/scaled-1680-/image-1642224564758.png )

#### The cause
Using this example:<br>
https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/CZZX5DN?link_id=2&can_id=071ccc07c7xxxxxxxxxxxxxd003

If you copied the link from an Action Network email that you had previously received -  the link will have your personal ID attached (the **&can_id=xxx** part). You don't need any of the information after the question mark.

#### The solution 
In this case you would just use https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/CZZX5DN

This goes for other links with user info embedded - eg. some Google links or links to Facebook or a fundraiser. Just cut out the question mark and everything after, make sure the links still works and just use that instead.
