Engagement Stats attempt to help you know how your email messages perform. The stats in this area can help you take immediate action with given recipients and/or make decisions about the content and timing of subsequent messages. Clicking on the number beside each engagement stat will display the corresponding recipients in the Recipients card.

- There are many factors that can skew these numbers higher or lower. Here are some of those factors to consider:
- The recipient doesn’t have image auto-loading enabled. Many web, desktop, and mobile email clients block this by default.
- The recipient is using an app that blocks email tracking. Ghostery and PixelBlock are extensions that can block email opens from being reported.
- The recipient’s email client renders a preview. Some email clients render images as a preview, and will trigger email open false positives.
- Some enterprise security systems will block emails w/ open tracking pixels or tracked links.
