Avoid "click here to show images" warning

edited January 2013 in Suggestions

Hi guys,

I came across this page - http://www.phpsnaps.com/snaps/view/embed-image-in-email-with-phpmailer/ - and I was wondering if this is something you already have in mind for future releases? I know at least one image needs to be loaded to track opened emails. However it'd be nice to have the option to embed other images automatically for selected campaigns, and therefore avoid the infamous "Click here to show images" warning messages on most clients/webmails.

Thanks in advance.

  • Hi @SpicleMedia,

    AddEmbeddedImage embeds images 'offline'. This won't work with open tracking.

    How open tracking works is that it loads a 1 x 1 pixel image from your server while at the same time passing data to your server in order to populate the campaign report.

    AddEmbeddedImage requires the image to be 'attached' to the email itself, hence no data (opens) can be passed to your server as the 1 x 1 pixel image is loaded offline (from the attachment in the email).

    Thanks.

    Ben
