I’m trying to figure out a way to trigger automation in a campaign based on whether or not someone opens an email. I know there used to be an html hack for this, but I wasn’t able to get it to work correctly. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chad Hart

The HTML hack is still really the only way to handle this. There are a handful of blog posts and videos out there, but most of them are pretty dated. ☹
I did come across this plugin yesterday that might be worth a look: [Email Open Tracking for Infusionsoft – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org](https://wordpress.org/plugins/email-open-tracking-for-infusionsoft/)

I’ve seen this plugin, too, @Greg_Jenkins. I might be wrong but I think you still have to create the Action Set (the normal hack procedure) and the plugin generates the code for the image pixel.
