My Question or Issue

Hi Jall,
I hope someone here can forward this to relevant people at Spotify!
Spotify has a "Personalized concert recommendations near you" email that is being distributed to their subscribers. Unfortunately for the last couple of months ( I have been trying to bring this to the attention of @SpotifyCares on Twitter since last year!) the URL that is supposed to redirect to the concerts is missing a dot, just a "dot"!
The link in the email (see two screenshots below) is broken, to be precise it is missing a proper placement of AdSense in their URL, and one dot "." has been removed.

Here is the link from the "SEE UPCOMING EVENTS" button:

Which redirects to this webpage:

 Here is the link with dot placed where it should be in: wl.spotify.com instead of wlspotify.com - wl.spotify.com is Spotify's AdSense that counts the clicks, but it currently is not working so they can't get any stats 😞
https://wl.spotify.com/ss/c/jB8Q9cVeEn3mlrUL0ylOydpZlNUPrZ2ld3efUbdGvDVH0NAswx2xLyiL7DJDtLsp/3sm/wIV...

 

I have tried to flag this with @SpotifyCares for the last 4 months I think, I've reached out via LinkedIn to some people within Spotify - no change. 

I hope that maybe here someone will "spot" it and address/resolve this ongoing issue.

Thanks for all the help, for some reason this time the notification ended up in Spam 😞
Meanwhile, I got to chatting with an actual human being on Spotify via some chat, and I can attest that since the latest email with Concerts, it all works well. 
It only took me 6 months to flag this issue, and the Spotify Care on Twitter wasn't helpful that much, but hey, it's fixed!

Hey @Yaskiersky

 

Thanks for getting back to us and letting us know 🙂

 

Fantastic news! If you need a hand with anything else, the Community is here for you. 

 

Cheers!
