Email Click-Through Rate

Email click-through rate measures the percentage of delivered Customer.io emails where the recipient clicked at least one link. It indicates how effectively email content drives recipients to take the next step in your desired journey, bridging the gap between opening a message and converting.

How to calculate email click-through rate

Click-Through Rate = (Unique Clicks / Emails Delivered) x 100

Why email click-through rate matters for Customer.io users

Opens indicate awareness; clicks indicate intent. A high open rate with a low click-through rate suggests your subject lines work but your content or calls to action do not. This metric is the critical middle step between engagement and conversion in your lifecycle messaging funnel.

Positioning click-through rate in your metric tree between open rate and conversion rate reveals whether content quality is the bottleneck in your messaging performance. Statistical correlations show which click-through patterns predict downstream conversions.
