Activity API Persistent Send Key

We have a few operational daily campaigns which send the same email (but has dynamic email scripting based on a custom object). We export all Email activity data via a static list every 3 hours but noticed there is no unique send key that persists through each activity row. Meaning, if Fred Flintstone received the same email Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday--but only opened 1 of the 3 sends, we wouldn't know which day's send Fred opened.

Has anyone else faced this or know of a persistent key we can pull through the API?

Hi Wyatt,

If you're doing an export via API, you can do this by using the Campaign Run ID that returns with activities_click_email; the trick is going to be reconciling the Campaign Run ID to the date sent. I've been getting around this lately by having a record that always opens or clicks automatically on the send date and using that as a master key of "on this date of the send, the Campaign Run ID was x".
