Tracked Emails: The number of tracked emails sent for this account, in the selected time frame. Average Unique Open Rate: Your unique open rate is based on unique opens of the emails sent during the selected time frame. Average Unique Click Rate: Your average unique click rate is based on the unique clicks of each link in the emails sent during the selected time frame. Note: Unique Open Rate and Click Rate are calculated differently depending on which platform you send emails from. For emails sent from your inbox Unique clicks and opens are based on the recipient’s device: when a recipient opens the email for the first time or clicks a link for the first time on a particular device, we register a unique open. For emails sent from app.bananatag.com Unique clicks and opens are based on the recipient’s Unique ID: when a recipient opens the email for the first time or clicks a link for the first time we register a unique open. |
