To enable HTML Email Status reporting, you need Enhanced Email enabled in Setup > Email Administration > Deliverability, Professional Edition or higher, and “View Setup and Configuration” permissions.
But even with proper configuration, the report type often remains unavailable due to Salesforce’s restrictive creation policies. Here’s how to get your email tracking data without the configuration headaches.

Coefficientconnects directly to the HTML Email Status object, eliminating the need for specific report types entirely. Instead of troubleshooting Salesforce configurations, you get immediate access to comprehensive email tracking data.
This approach provides more reliable email analytics than native Salesforce reports, with enhanced filtering and automation capabilities.
