Marketo reports delivered email but no opens

[Tracy_Boesken]

Our campaigns run over the last month report as being delivered but zero opens (Not even one out of office reply). I know that there are in fact opens but it seems Marketo is not reporting them. Anyone else have this issue? Any suggestions?

What would an OoO reply have to do with Opens? 

Anyway, have you run a Smart List with exactly the same Date Range and selected email assets? What are you comparing to to prove there were Opens?

[Tracy_Boesken]

The proof is the people on the internal seed list opened the emails.

I think there is more than one issue going on with our sends. Just wanted to know if anyone else experienced it.

Those people registered an Opened Email in their Activity Log?

If not, did you see the tracking pixel being downloaded (this you can always see on the Network tab in Dev Tools) when you opened the received email?

Again, I'm trying to locate the technical proof we're working from here.

[Tracy_Boesken]

I'm sorry, can you please explain how to see the tracking pixel?

Email reports delivered in activity log but not opened.

Email reports delivered in activity log but not opened.

OK, that's a very important piece of info, because the Opens in a report are a superset of the opens in the Activity Log. Lacking a basic ActLog of opens tells you

1. Your HTML is broken in a way that accidentally hides the tracking pixel
2. You accidentally turned off tracking
3. The tracking pixel is embedded in the email, and is being sent to Marketo, but not stored in the ActLog

To eliminate #3 you want to open your Dev Tools » Network tab and and look for the image URL

where branding.example.com is your branding domain and of course http: may be https: for your instance.

The only image listed...is that the tracking pixel?

BTW the issue has been resolved by Marketo clearing our cache.

[SanfordWhiteman]

You can't test tracking pixels in Marketo's preview UI. I'm talking about actual received emails (note: not tests, real emails).

[Tracy_Boesken]

Now that I see the tracking pixel has been downloaded...can I use this link to check for opens as well (or is that only on Marketo's side?)

The problem now is that the clicks do not match the opens...I assume it's because the images aren't being downloaded? What can be done to ensure correct reporting on individuals?

We are seeing a similar issue since the second week of January. We have little to no opens in a week. I was wondering if anyone else was seeing that and if it is related to Apple's new privacy push which will no longer share open information.
