Email views and clicks
You can track read and click actions in emails sent to your customers.
- To track the opening of the emails, you have to include a pixel
- To track the clicks on the links included in your emails, you have to replace each of your links with a Click Tracking URL
For each event, the datamart will identify the users reading/clicking the email by:
- Recommended option: using the user's Email Hash, included by you in the pixel/tracking URL
- Reading their cookies if possible:
- It is always working when the users are clicking (e.g. Click Tracking URL)
- It is sometimes possible when the users are opening the emails, depending on their email client (e.g. Pixel)
Activities tracked through this method will be of
