Frequently Asked Questions
How does engagement tracking work?
We use industry standard methods to track email engagement metrics. In short, we place a tiny image within the email to track opens, and we append tracking links to each URL within the email.
Is tracking enabled by default?
Open and click tracking are enabled by default. If you want to track unsubscribes, you will need to enable this feature.
Can you track email forwards?
No, you cannot if users forward your emails. Your tracking information will still be appended to the original email, but the data will be associated with the person you messaged. This means that if you message Mike, he forwards it to Jerry, and Jerry opens it, then that open would be attributed to Mike.
How accurate are open and click rates?
Our tracking provides reliable data, though it’s important to note that some email clients block tracking pixels by default. We use advanced methods to ensure the most accurate data possible given these limitations.
