DAP can now Track Email Stats!

Share this

Watch this video to see how you can track email stats using DAP!

I'm very excited to let you know that DAP can now report Email Stats!

So if you are currently using an external email platform like say Aweber, ActiveCampaign, Drip, ConvertKit etc primarily because DAP could not track email stats, good news is... that has changed now!​

DAP can now track opens, clicks, bounces, unsubscribed and other email stats as long as you connect DAP with an email SMTP provider like Sendgrid or Mailgun

Sendgrid and Mailgun both offer 'free' accounts. So you can get started for free to test things and then upgrade to a higher plan if necessary! 

Watch this video to find out:

  • Why we decided to go with Sendgrid and Mailgun for this reporting feature.
  • What are our plans for email tracking with Amazon SES.
  • How you can track your Email Broadcasts Stats in DAP.

    What are the benefits of connecting DAP with an Email SMTP service like Amazon SES, Sendgrid, Mailgun etc vs using an external email platform like Aweber, ActiveCampaign, Drip, ConvertKit etc.  
  • check
    Limitations when you use an External Email SMTP service and when you should still use external email platforms like Aweber, ActiveCampaign etc for emails.

Stay tuned for the next video where I'll take you behind-the-scenes to show you:
