Open & Click Reporting

It’s important to be able to measure the engagement of your site emails. Are people actually opening certain emails? Are they clicking links?

With that information, you can try to update an email’s subject line and see if the open rate improves. Or update the email copy and see if more people click on the links. With WP Offload SES, you can access all of this instantly, from your WordPress dashboard.

Auto-Retry Email Sending Failures

If that happens, you can simply retry those failures once connectivity to Amazon SES is restored.

Manually Resend Any Sent Emails
