Email marketing is the most common system to promote your product. WordPress emails are somewhat different from usual emails. Why, when you send from normal emails, you can’t know how many people received your email and whether they read your email or not. But using WordPress, you can easily find people who receive, open, and clicks the email. For example, you were supposed to send the form to follow-ups, reset passwords, and order receipts. These types of emails won’t come under promotion so, you can see built-in options available in emails.
Reason to setup email tracking:

How to set up email tracking in WordPress?
