Overview

Each sending domain has configurable settings that control how emails are tracked and delivered. Access these settings at Settings → Sending Domains → [Your Domain].

​
Tracking Settings

​
Open Tracking

SettingDefault
Open TrackingEnabled
When enabled, Migma inserts a 1x1 transparent pixel image at the end of your email. When a recipient opens the email and loads images, this pixel is requested from Migma’s servers, recording the open. What’s tracked:
  • First open timestamp
  • Total open count
  • Approximate location (from IP)
When to disable:
  • Privacy-focused audiences
  • Emails where image loading is blocked
  • Transactional emails where open rates don’t matter

​
Click Tracking

SettingDefault
Click TrackingEnabled
When enabled, Migma rewrites links in your email to route through our tracking servers. When a recipient clicks a link, we record the click and redirect them to the original URL. What’s tracked:
  • First click timestamp
  • Total click count per email
  • Which links were clicked
When to disable:
  • When you need original URLs visible in the email
  • High-security contexts where redirects are a concern
  • When third-party link tracking is already in place

​
Branded Tracking

SettingDefault
Branded TrackingDisabled
When enabled, Migma adds a small “Sent with Migma” footer to your emails. This includes a logo that also serves as an open tracking pixel. Why enable:
  • Support Migma with visible branding
  • Simple alternative to custom open tracking
Why disable (default):
  • Keep emails unbranded
  • Custom footer design

How Tracking Works

​
Open Tracking Flow

1. Email sent with tracking pixel
2. Recipient opens email
3. Email client loads images
4. Pixel request hits Migma servers
5. Open recorded with timestamp

​
Click Tracking Flow

1. Links rewritten: example.com → track.migma.ai/c/[id]
2. Recipient clicks link
3. Request hits Migma tracking server
4. Click recorded with timestamp
5. Recipient redirected to original URL

​
Data Retention

Tracking data is stored for 30 days. After 30 days, individual email logs are automatically deleted. Aggregate metrics (totals per domain) are retained indefinitely.

​
Best Practices

For newsletters, promotions, and marketing campaigns, keep both open and click tracking enabled. This data helps you:
  • Measure campaign effectiveness
  • Identify engaged subscribers
  • Optimize send times
  • A/B test content
For password resets, order confirmations, and receipts, tracking may be unnecessary:
  • Users expect these emails regardless
  • Open rates are typically very high anyway
  • Reduces email size slightly
  • Avoids potential privacy concerns
If you need different tracking settings, use separate subdomains:
  • mail.yourdomain.com - Marketing (tracking enabled)
  • notify.yourdomain.com - Transactional (tracking disabled)
