Pink PostOpen and click tracking toggles (off by default)
Open and click tracking, off by default
Open tracking (a pixel in HTML emails) and click tracking (rewritten links) are separate per-campaign switches, both off by default because they can hurt deliverability. Each step can also be sent as plain text or HTML.
Why it matters
Better deliverability by default, with tracking only when you choose it.
Open tracking (pixel, HTML emails only) and click tracking are per-campaign switches, both off by default because tracking can hurt deliverability. Plain text or HTML can be chosen per step.
