FAQs

Yes. Mailchimp Transactional lets you track open rates for your transactional emails through the Transactional API. Mailchimp Transactional tracks opens by adding a 1-pixel square graphic at the bottom of HTML emails. When a recipient downloads images in your message (which happens by default with most email clients) this is recorded as an open.
Monitoring opens helps you understand whether recipients are actually seeing your messages. And, with Mailchimp's 99% delivery rate, your emails are more likely to land in the inbox instead of the spam folder, which directly impacts how many people open them.

Yes. Mailchimp Transactional lets you track click activity within your transactional emails through the API. If you're noticing low click rates, here are a few things worth testing:
- Clear calls to action: Make sure your buttons or links stand out visually and tell the recipient exactly what to do next.
- Link placement: Move your most important link higher in the email so recipients see it without scrolling.
- Content relevance: Review whether the information in your transactional emails matches what the recipient expects at that moment in their experience.
Note: Click tracking is not available in demo accounts. You'll need a paid account to use this feature.
