Hi, so I will soon be using a Marketing Automation SaaS (vbout) that requires me to upload an SDK to my root directory to activate Browser Push Notification opt-ins. I also need to add some code to the .htaccess file in the domain root directory. Do I have access to the root directory for my Sitejet hosted sites? What options do I have to make this happen?

Thanks

I also have Vbout and need access to upload some code to add vanity url tracking.  
Will this mess up anything on SiteJets backend? I’m not sure if I will be able to use this whitelabe link tracking feature if there is a tracking conflict with SiteJet or if support cant add the code for me.

Here is the code-

```auto
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on

#BEGIN URL REDIRECT CODE

#SOCIAL MEDIA SHORTURL
RewriteRule ^goto/(.*)$ https://www.vbt.io/goto/$1 [R=301,QSA,L]

#EMAIL SHORTURL
RewriteRule ^r/(.*)$ https://www.vbt.io/r/$1 [R=301,QSA,L]

#SMS SHORTURL
RewriteRule ^s/(.*)$ https://www.vbt.io/s/$1 [R=301,QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^t/(.*)$ https://www.vbt.io/t/$1 [R=301,QSA,L]

#END URL REDIRECT CODE

```

Hey there,

it is actually not possible to access and alter the .htaccess file in the domain root directory.

What about uploading an SDK to my root directory to activate Browser Push Notification opt-ins?
