Get Email Client Breakdown
Returns the mail clients (Apple Mail, Gmail, Outlook and others) and device types that opened your emails, as shares of unique opens. Use it to decide which clients to test your designs in. Each email send counts once, attributed to the client of its first open, so a subscriber who reopens an email on another device is not counted twice. Test sends are excluded, and detected email-security scanners are excluded unless you set includeMachineEngagement=true. For one campaign, use Get Campaign Email Client Breakdown.

Query Parameters

Sliding window over open times. One of: 1h, 24h, 7d, 30d, 90d. Ignored when start and end are provided.

Response Fields

string
Applied period, or custom when start and end were provided.
number
Unique opens the breakdown covers. 0 when nothing was opened, in which case clients and devices are empty arrays.
number
Opens that came through the Gmail or Yahoo image proxies or Apple Mail Privacy Protection. These report the client but not the reader’s device, so they are counted under the unknown device.
array
Mail clients, most opens first. Each item has key, label, opens, and share (percentage of totalOpens, not rounded). key is one of apple_mail, gmail, outlook, yahoo_mail, thunderbird, android_mail_app, web_browser, or other. android_mail_app covers Android apps that show mail in a WebView, such as Samsung Email. web_browser covers webmail, the new Outlook for Windows, and opens recorded from a link click without a tracked open. Some apps built on Apple’s WebKit, such as Outlook for Mac, are reported as apple_mail. other covers unrecognized and missing user agents.
array
Device types, most opens first, with the same item fields. key is one of desktop, mobile, tablet, or unknown.
emailType, mailboxProvider, start, and end are echoed back when you provide them. Recipients who never open, or whose client blocks images, are not represented, so read the shares as “of the people who opened”.
