Email Event Fields

Object API name: dryad__Email_Event__c

An Email Event is a notification sent back by Amazon SES about an email, such as "sent", "delivered", "opened" or "bounced". Events are created automatically and update the matching Email Recipient, so you normally don't need to look at them. Email Events are used only with Dryad Mailer, and only when a Configuration Set is set in Receipt Settings. See Emailing: Salesforce or Dryad Mailer.

How to read the field tables: the Field column shows the label you see on screen, with the field's API name (the name used by admins, reports and integrations) underneath it. The Data Type column uses Salesforce's own terms. A type that starts with "Formula" is calculated automatically and can't be edited.

Topics referred to with "see" (for example, Eligibility Statuses or Defaults and Overrides) are explained in the Core Concepts article.
