Tracking logs provide important insights into the performance of your email campaigns, such as how many recipients opened your emails, clicked on links, or unsubscribed.

• Clicks: View logs for link clicks within your emails.
• Unsubscribes: Check logs for unsubscribe actions.

Select the appropriate filter to focus on the type of tracking logs you want to review.

Step 3: Review Specific Tracking Logs

Depending on the filter selected, the logs will show the following details:

• Opens Logs: Indicates which recipients opened your emails and when.
