Show summarized stats using the email activity component.
1. Campaign
2. Journey
3. Smart Email
Campaign Monitor stores the interactions made by a receipent. Via the integration this information can be pulled into Salesforce and stored at different levels. An interaction is grouped into types - sent, opened, clicked, unsubscribed, bounced, etc...
For campaigns or journeys tracking information can be stored in our Email Tracking History object. This object appears as a related list on contacts or leads (illustrated below). Additionally these records are available to Salesforce reporting and dashboards.
Smart Emails use a different sent of Campaign Monitor APIs and therefore do not work the same as campaings or journeys. Instead you have the possibility of creating a Salesforce task. If you create a task you can also use a separate Lightning Component to surface email interactions. Surfacing data just means we don't store email tracking history in Salesforce.
Viewing email tracking statistics
If there are multiple interactions of a certain type within the same minute, we will only store a single record. i.e. if a user (or an email client) opens the email multiple times within the same minute, then you will only see one record for the opened email for that minute.
When the primary sync runs (typically every hour) Campaign Monitor for Salesforce will pull these records into Salesforce. Creating any record in Salesforce counts against your data storage limits. If you have a lot of tracking data or have already used up your storage limit this can be a problem. One solution is to use the Campaign Monitor for Salesforce email activity component in lightning. which surfaces the data instead of storing it.
You can also see data tracking information via two Lightning Components. One component is for Campaigns and Journeys. The other is specifically for smart / transactional emails.
Storage limits with email statistics
Storing email tracking data in Salesforce is a premium feature. If you switch to the free plan, email tracking data will be removed from your Salesforce org and the ability to control it will be disabled.

Lightning Component
Campaigns & Journeys
The Email Activity & Journeys componet will show you tracking data by surfacing it in real time in Campaign Monitor. In addition it will provide a summary as indicated at the very bottom. Surfacing data is a good option if you prefer not to store data using up your Salesforce storage allowance.
Important notes on components
They currently only works with Salesforce lightning.
The components can only be added to the contact or lead page layouts.
We surface both classic campaign and journey tracking data in one component and journey information in another.
Data is pulled via subscriber list memberships, if this data is not being added to Salesforce you will not see tracking data for campaigns and journeys.
You can filters on the components for example a particualr list or email that has been sent out.
Adding the lightning component:
Within Salesforce lightning, navigate to a Salesforce contact or Lead record.
Click on the Setup cog on the top right.
Select Edit page.
On the left side, pane scroll use the search components to find both the Campaigns & Jouneys and the Transactional Email Acitivty components.
Once found drag and drop email activity on the page.
Click Save.
We recommend that a Salesforce system administrator with experience working with lightning page layouts adds the component.
