From reading the Sugar description it sounds like all the people in the team get is 'the email' - presumably you can do this just by setting up a 'team group' as a Mailing List and include them in all Emails.

What it sounds like you are suggesting, is that the system be able to send a 'report' to the team after the campaign has concluded. To set that up you would need to decide when the campaign has run its course - 2 hours after the last email is despatched - or 2 days - or 2 weeks.

Being able to provide the team with a link to the 'report' is pretty straight forward, just Adv Search your 'team group', More Actions = Send Email, then paste in the link to the report.

Not automatic but does the job and avoids the problem of deciding 'when' the campaign has concluded. May be just requires an Activity to be scheduled after the mailing has gone to remind someone to paste the report link at the due time.

then again may be i have completely misunderstood your intention - but i tried.

just seeds is a special group that go out of marketing-reports, because they are not normal receivers, but peoplo of management team of civicrm, so they only create false stats, opening and clicking on emails, but also working on these emails, they need to check and receive them, and this is a group, but special, sorry for my bad english..

understood - if they are included in the email then they get included in the stats

not a big issue if the team is 5-10 and the campaign is 500-1000 but that isn't the point is it.

all is relative, there are companies or associations with 100 or more people employed, and ok they could send 500 emails or also 50.000 emails, anyway, also 3 people that click on link 10 times and open email 20 times, could false stats a lot at my eyes, i one tiem yes and another not and anyway stats are not at the maximum clear, yes, for sure is not one priority, but could help to make the marketing office to be hapy for this little useful detail
