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 EMAIL $type and NO_SESSION $session_status. See User activity object for more information.
