- Sent: message has been sent successfully
- Opened: recipient opened a message; will only occur when open tracking is enabled
- Clicked: recipient clicked a link in a message; will only occur when click tracking is enabled. Be aware we can also filter if/else for clicked and thus target non-clicked as well
- Delivered: message has received a response from the recipientâs mail server indicating successful delivery
- Delayed: message has been sent, but the receiving server has indicated mail is being delivered too quickly and Mailchimp Transactional should temporarily slow down sending
- Marked as Spam: recipient marked a message as spam, alongside âdelayedâ and âdelivered but not opened or clicked and bounced as well as rejectedâ this is your invitation to retarget Mailchimp contacts via WhatsApp through Chatarmin
