SENT: Indicates that the email was sent successfully.
OPENED: Indicates that the recipient opened the email.
CLICKED: Indicates that a link within the email was clicked.
UNSUBSCRIBED: Indicates that the recipient has unsubscribed.
Open Tracking report
Once all emails have been sent, Mail Rocket generates a comprehensive tracking report that shows the number of emails sent, opened, clicked and unsubscribed.
Access the tracking report conveniently from the Add-ons menu under extensions > Mail Rocket: Mail Merge For Gmail > Open Tracking Report.
The tracking report sidebar provides insights into open and click rates:
Open Rate: Indicates the percentage of emails that were opened by recipients.
Click Rate: Indicates the percentage of emails containing clickable links that were clicked by recipients.

Accuracy of Email Tracking:
Mail Rocket tracks opens and clicks in real-time using industry-standard methods, such as adding a small image (1x1 pixel) to each email. However, email tracking accuracy may vary due to email providers' policies on image loading and privacy settings.
Open Tracking: The accuracy of open tracking depends on email providers' behavior regarding image loading and privacy settings.
Click Tracking: Each tracked link is uniquely identified to your account, ensuring accurate click tracking while preserving email deliverability.
