The basic concept is that you're placing an image request in the body of the email. If you're able to load an external image into the email itself, use a hardcoded image request as the source with the variables you want as query string parameters.

Alternatively, Adobe Campaign has the capability to track email opens as well.

Hi, 

Tracking email opens is possible in Adobe Analytics,You would have to include a hardcoded image request in your email. Please go through this article on how you can do it - https://helpx.adobe.com/analytics/kb/sending-image-requests-emails.html

Let me know if this works for you. Thanks!

Hi,

let me confirm that for you. Could you also give me some more detail meanwhile, are you adding a campaign link to your email which leads to a landing page in your site? If yes, a good way would be to add a campaign code to your links and then you can track url parameters in analytics. Thanks!

Hi Tanmay,

I amusing that way even what you have mentioned above,but i need to track that the particular mail consisting of the campaign is opened/not opened.

Apart from that how to track this report in analytics after implementing the image request in HTML?
