Hi there -
I’ve done some digging but haven’t found a clear answer on how Bulk Emails differ from those sent individually or through a sequence. When users send emails directly from the timeline or as part of a sequence, they get the helpful Email Engagement details like opens, clicks, and replies.
However, when using the Direct Email/Bulk Email feature to send a templated message to multiple recipients, there’s no engagement data at all. The fields are just blank rather than showing zero, as if that tracking isn’t available.
I’m assuming this means Bulk Emails aren’t embedding the invisible tracking image that enables engagement reporting, and that users would need to send emails individually to get that insight. The problem is, sending individual emails is far less efficient, and our users really love the ability to send a single template to a filtered list.
Is there a way to enable engagement tracking for bulk emails, or is this a known limitation? Should I be submitting a ticket to Microsoft, or is this expected behavior? I just want to be certain before I communicate this to my users and tell them that their favorite tool won’t deliver engagement data.
Thanks in advance for your help!
