Q: Are unsubscribe links required in a Smart Mail?
A: No. Unsubscribe links are currently only required for emails sent to a list or emails in an automation.
Q: If you CC or BCC someone on a Smart Mail, and they open the email, click a link, or reply to the Smart Mail, do those events show on their Life of the Lead?
A: If anyone from the group that was copied opens the email, then everyone in that group gets one open event—and only ever one open event. The click events will only be recorded if they land on a tracked page that recognizes the lead. In that case, any lead who was initially sent the email will get their click event.
Q: Can you establish tracking if you CC or BCC an untracked lead?
A: No. Tracking cannot be established when sending to multiple recipients via Smart Mail.
Q: Does a Smart Mail with multiple recipients count as multiple sends towards the SMTP sending limit?
A: No. Smart Mails with multiple recipients are single emails with multiple recipients, and they count as a single send.
Q: How far back does Mail Sync pull information?
A: Mail Sync performs a single historical sync that looks at the leads in Lead Gen & CRM before looking at your inbox. If you have an email from ten years ago still in your inbox, it should pull that email in. In the same manner, if you add a lead to the platform after the fact, the historical email content will not be pulled. The only way to trigger another historical search is to disconnect and then reconnect MailSync. Be aware that the Life of the Lead only displays the 300 most recent events, which means that, even if Mail Sync pulls in historical content, that content may not be shown on a lead's record.
