Newsletter Statistics
Delivered: The number of emails that were successfully added to the recipient's inbox.
Opened: The number of times the email was opened by any recipient. One recipient may open the email multiple times. This is tracked with a hidden image embedded into the newsletter; when the image is loaded, one Open is logged. Users who do not allow image loading in their emails unfortunately cannot be tracked.
Clicks: The number of times any user clicks a link inside the email. All links inside your newsletter content are tracked.
Bounced: The number of emails that were rejected by the receiving mail server. Some common reasons for this include a full inbox, a misspelled email address, or a temporary issue on the recipient server.
