Measuring how you leverage email requires 2 things: a free or paid Email Meter account, and a little bit of (safe, ethical) web browser hacking.
To make a free Email Meter account, visit emailmeter.com. Then follow along below.
Step 1 - Visit the Email Meter Plugin
Inside TRMNL, navigate to Plugins > Email Meter.
Step 2 - Find your Email Meter API Token
Now for some web hacking. Don't worry, no coding experience is required.
Using either Chrome or Firefox (web browser), log into Email Meter and visit your dashboard. It will look something like this:
Next, open your browser's Developer Tools via the browser's toolbar, navigating to View > Developer > Developer tools like so:
A new section should appear in your browser. It may be along the bottom, the right side, or even popped out as a new tab. Click on the "Network" tab of this new pane.
Now, reload the web page. You should see a lot of text populate this Network tab. After the page loads, type "team-labels" in the Filter field:
Click on the result with the <i> (orange) graphic, which will also have a Method value of "GET + Preflight" in one of the table columns to the right. On the new 'Headers' tab, scroll down to the Request Headers section and find the "Authorization" row.
Copy the long string of characters after the word "Token" from this row. Note that you may need to click open to expand the Request Headers section if you don't see these rows of content.
Step 3 - Configure Plugin
Back inside TRMNL, paste your API token into the API Token field:
Optionally give your Email Meter plugin a name, then click Save.
Step 4 - You're Done!
Based on your device's refresh settings, you'll begin seeing Email Meter analytics very soon.
Note: the Email Meter team is aware of our integration and they are considering a simpler solution to connecting your account. Also, your API token may expire automatically for security purposes. If you notice incorrect stats, repeat Steps 2-3 above.
Stay focused.
