Tracking
Similar to tracking limitations in most MAPs, the PathFactory Google Chrome Extension will only de-anonymize users who view content sent in emails if the following is true:
- The email is only sent to 1 recipient
- This means only 1 recipient in total, if using To, CC, or BCC
- You use the Embed content thumbnail option (not the copy link option)
