Example Settings:
Text Emails
Text emails are simple emails with only text and no images. This is the type of email you typically send back and forth with your colleagues.
- With text emails you can not track who opens each email. Opens are tracked using a tracking image and this is only possible in html emails.
- Text emails are less prone to spam detection.
- If click tracking is enabled, the url's of all your links will be visibly different. If you don't want the url's to be changed you will need to turn off click tracking.
- Text emails can be personalized and appear to be hand written by the sender if written properly.
- When sending an html email, of you also have a text version and the users email client does not support html, they will see the text version. If they support html, they will only see the html version.
-
HTML emails
HTML emails are graphical emails that can look like a web page.
- With html emails you can track both opens and clicks. Be aware that opens are tracked by a hidden tracking image in the html. Many users have images turned off by default in the email clients and if they view the email and never turn on the images, we can not know that they viewed the email.
- HTML emails are more prone to spam detection
- HTML emails can be personalized, but it will be clear that the email was sent to many people if the email is designed
- HTML emails are not viewable by all email clients, therefore it is recommended to always create a text version for these users to be displayed. When you send an email that contains both html and text versions, this is called a multi-part email.
