Generating interactive emails and tracking user interactions
Systems, methods, and related technologies are provided for generating interactive emails and tracking user interactions. In one implementation, an email can be received within an email client. The email can be rendered within the email client, such as by: presenting a first selectable element within the email client, presenting a second selectable element within the email client, and presenting one or more content items within the email client. A selection of the first selectable element can be received within the email client. In response to the selection of the first selectable element, a presentation of the one or more content items can be adjusted within the email client.
1. A method comprising:
receiving a notification email within an email client, the notification mail comprising task presentation data;
rendering the notification email within the email client causing a first task presentation, from the received task presentation data, of a first task set of selectable outcomes at a first task selectable outcomes location and a first task content item at a first task content item location within the email client;
receiving, within the email client, a selection of at least one outcome of the first task set of selectable outcomes; and
in response to the selection of the at least one outcome of the first task set of selectable outcomes, updating, within the email client, to a second task presentation of a second task set of selectable outcomes and a second task content item, thereby obscuring, within the email client, the first task presentation of the first task set of selectable outcomes and the first task content item.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification email presents at least one selectable outcome for presentation by the email client.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the at least one selectable outcome comprises a user interactive control.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the task presentation data comprises a style sheet.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, in response to the selection of the at least one outcome of the first task set of selectable outcomes, one of obscuring or removing from the second task presentation the first task set of selectable outcomes and the first task content item.
6. An email client comprising:
a memory configured to store executable instructions; and
a processor for executing the stored executable instructions to cause the email client to
receive a notification email, the notification email comprising task presentation data,
render the notification email causing a first task presentation, from the received task presentation data, for presentation on a user of a first task set of selectable outcomes at a first task selectable outcomes location and a first task content item at a first task content item location within the email client,
receive, from the user device, a selection of at least one outcome of the first task set of selectable outcomes, and
in response to the selection of the at least one outcome of the first task set of selectable outcomes, update, within the email client, a second task presentation for presentation on the user device of a second task set of selectable outcomes and a second task content item, thereby obscuring, within the email client, the first task presentation of the first task set of selectable outcomes and the first task content item.
7. The email client of claim 6 , wherein the notification email presents at least one selectable outcome for presentation by the email client.
8. The email client of claim 7 , wherein the at least one selectable outcome comprises a user interactive control.
9. The email client of claim 6 , wherein the task presentation data comprises a style sheet.
10. The email client of claim 6 , wherein the processor for executing the stored executable instructions further causes the email client to, in response to the selection of the at least one outcome of the first task set of selectable outcomes, one of obscure or remove from the second task presentation the first task set of selectable outcomes and the first task content item.
11. A computer readable medium storing executable code thereon configured to be executed by a processor of an email client, the executable code including instructions to cause the processor of the email client to:
receive a notification email, the notification email comprising task presentation data,
render the notification email to cause a first task presentation, from the received task presentation data, for presentation on a user of a first task set of selectable outcomes at a first task selectable outcomes location and a first task content item at a first task content item location within the email client,
receive, from the user device, a selection of at least one outcome of the first task set of selectable outcomes, and
in response to the selection of the at least one outcome of the first task set of selectable outcomes, update, within the email client, a second task presentation for presentation on the user device of a second task set of selectable outcomes and a second task content, thereby obscuring, within the email client, the first task presentation of the first task set of selectable outcomes and the first task content item.
