Disable tracking for specific link in Mailchimp - mailchimp

I'd like to disable tracking for a specific link in a campaign.
The reason I need to do this is Mailchimp/Mandrill's tracking creates a scenario where Universal Links do not work.
Example:
I'd like (1) to be a regular link, with no Mailchimp tracking
I'd like (2) to track as normal.
In Mandrill I achieve this by adding mc:disable-tracking to the HTML of my template
Is it possible to do this within Mailchimp?
Thanks!

From my experience with MailChimp, you can't turn off click tracking on a link-by-link basis. It's all or nothing for a given campaign. MailChimp has a support document on how to do this, but the gist of it is a simple checkbox when configuring the campaign options:
Incidentally lack of click tracking in emails is currently a major drawback of Universal Links. If you're using one of the major email systems (Responsys, ExactTarget, SendGrid, or SailThru) Branch.io [full disclosure: I'm on the Branch team] offers an integration to fix this, but unfortunately the MailChimp version is taking somewhat longer to get live (feel free to let them know you want such a thing!)

How to pin an announcement on google classroom

In 2020 aprox Google introduced the option to pin an announcement at the top of the list (in the main page of the classroom), manually is an option inside the colon menu after you create an announcement.
I 'd need to use this option in a script, because I need to pin a document with rules in every classroom I have, but I can't find any reference in Classrooms API.
Can someone help me?
I do not believe this is possible programmatically at this time as there is no reference in the API to be able to do so with either announcements or course work materials, as you mentioned. I had looked to try to accomplish the same thing and came to the conclusion it's not yet supported. You could post this as a feature request in the Classroom issue tracker, I'm surprised I don't already see it there: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues?q=componentid:191645%20status:open
One alternate solution to make course work added via script easier to access as it gets pushed down the classroom feed is to make it posted to it's own topic:

Create pop-up announcements upon login?

I want to get all of my users to see announcements. As you already know, we can't force everyone to use a dashboard that would have the announcements located in it as outlined here: https://www.powerobjects.com/blog/2011/11/22/adding-announcements-to-the-dashboard-in-crm-2011/. I could add this component to the most frequently-used dashboards, but I'm not going to get complete compliance. Too many people use user-defined dashboards and views. Further, not all of our users use email or other correspondence consistently, so my channels of communication for updates to the system are limited. My best bet was to create a popup upon login containing announcements, akin to the "pending email" warning, which would appear upon login regardless of any other conditions:
I've dug around to try and see where that warning comes from, in hopes of reverse engineering it to build a new component... but I just couldn't figure it out. I've seen options on how to disable or circumvent it, which naturally is the opposite of what I'm trying to do.
Is something like this possible?
Unfortunately this is a missing most wanted piece/feature even today in latest 365 versions.
We are using Web resources in global dashboards to socialize such thing, as announcements are deprecated. We cannot circumvent personal dashboards as default scenario.
We are planning to explore Learning path for this requirement, but that’s not applicable for your version.

Is there a Joomla 3.x content edit workflow plugin?

I was wondering if something possible as a workflow plugin was available.
When i mean workflow, i mean, a front-end management user would edit an article, and this would trigger an approval request, and the edit wouldn't go live until the approval was accepted. Something such as a backoffice would be available on maybe only an email or something that an administrator would need to accept before the change go live.
I have seen countless plugins for Prearticle management where before publishing it there is a workflow. But this is not what i am looking, i am looking for the same process but for when the article is already published, when a change is done to that article.
Is there such a thing for Joomla 3.x available i have searched alot and came to nothing, so i am asking help from the community.
Thanks in advance !
Things like this can help?

The following is yet another tool, but too powerful a tool for your requirement, still you may want to have a look at it.

How to edit existing place with Google Places API

I am working for a business that deals with auto body shops - we have them subscribed to a service and want to enhance that service by utilizing the Goolge Places API.
I would like to update the places entries by adding or changing specific photos, descriptions and contact info. I realize there is a section of the documentation that deals with adding a 'place report' but I felt this flow was unclear and/or ambiguous.
In other words, what happens when i place this report? Is there a vetting process that only google is involved in? Does this even do what I'm asking it to do? Is this creating a new entry entirely?
Any help on clarification is appreciated. I may have missed the obvious here so if you feel that way let me know with a link please.
The Places Photo service is a read-only API that allows you to easily add high quality photographic content to your application.

Did you not understand the 'read-only' part?

New settings in the Group Settings API...were these announced?

I noticed some new settings in the Google Group Settings API...were these announced? Where should we look for such announcements?
I assume you're referring to spam moderation and include in GAL? No, they weren't announced to my knowledge. Google's getting better at announcing changes but they still slip in updates like this from time to time with no way of knowing till you happen to find it buried in ref. docs.
I suggest tracking the doc pages where possible. I use ChangeDetection.com to get email notifications when reference docs get updated.
This particular change wasn't announced anywhere except for the updated reference docs. Often changes are posted to the Developer's Blog at http://googledevelopers.blogspot.com/, just not for this.
