Sentiment trackers

Listen to your audience with sentiment trackers. A sentiment tracker is a live poll that your subscribers can interact with that will display current results when an email is opened. For example, you can engage your audience by inviting them to weigh in on the value each email delivers!

Sentiment trackers are located in the Personalize section of the Litmus platform. From the Personalize tab, select Sentiment trackers on the left side. Here, you can create a new tracker and find any you've already created.

In the Sentiment tracker section of the Personalize tab, select New sentiment tracker in the upper right corner.

Impression usage

A sentiment tracker may use between 4 and 6 images depending on the number of options in your poll.

NOTE: Impressions usage limits vary based on your subscription. Learn more about usage limits and how impressions are counted to make sure you understand how your tag will impact your usage!

Apple Mail Privacy Protection (MPP)

When an email is sent to an inbox with MPP enabled, email images are automatically downloaded and cached. The cached images are then displayed when the email is opened. Due to this, sentiment trackers will display the percentages as they were at the time of your send for users with MPP enabled.

Due to this, we recommend staggering your sends when using sentiment trackers. This will allow some poll results to be gathered before the images are cached for segments of your subscribers.

MPP-impacted opens will count towards impressions usage.
