Open tracking was documented only in the Knowledge Base, under the title "Knowing when an email is opened", so neither the Documentation tab nor a scan for "tracking" found it. The Email Deliverability page also told readers to remove open trackers altogether.

Changes

  • New page: Guides → Open Tracking (/open-tracking), placed after Domains. It carries the full content of the Knowledge Base page, with these changes:
    • The console steps are corrected. The Add Domain dialog has no tracking checkbox. The switch is in the domain's DNS records (View DNS records → Open tracking), and the Edit dialog still has the checkbox.
    • The WebSocket delivery of message.opened is mentioned.
    • A short section on deliverability is added.
  • Knowledge Base page (/knowledge-base/open-tracking, same URL): now a short answer covering the three setup steps and the caveats, with a link to the guide, so the content lives in one place. Its nav label is now Open tracking.
  • Cross-links:
    • Messages: a callout under Send.
    • Managing Domains: the PATCH field list now includes inbound_enabled and tracking_enabled, plus a tracking_enabled callout.
    • The webhooks overview and "domain not verifying" pages now link to the guide.
  • Email Deliverability: the "get rid of your open-tracker" step now says to send the first cold message without track_opens and to track replies and follow-ups.

fern check: 0 errors, and no warnings on the edited pages.

Open tracking was documented only in the Knowledge Base, under a title
without the word "tracking", and the Email Deliverability page told readers
to remove open trackers altogether.

The full page moves to Guides as Open Tracking, with the console steps
corrected: the Add Domain dialog has no tracking checkbox; the switch is in
the domain's DNS records. The Knowledge Base page becomes a short answer
that links to it. Messages, Managing Domains and the webhooks overview link
to the guide, and the deliverability step now says to leave tracking off on
a first cold message instead of never using it.
