I do not believe that all of these people opened, read, and clicked on link in same minute.
Great observation! What you're likely seeing is automated link clicks from email security scanners, not real human clicks. Here's what happens:
A few telltale signs this is what's happening:
- The clicks appear within seconds or a minute of delivery
- Multiple links in the same email are clicked at the same time
- It tends to happen with recipients at companies using enterprise email security
This is a known limitation of email click tracking in general, not unique to Decile Hub. Unfortunately there's no perfect fix since these scanners behave like real browsers.
That said, I'll flag this to the team so they can look into whether there's anything that can be done on Decile's end to help filter out bot clicks from your newsletter analytics. Thanks for raising it!
