**Calculation**: (Read Messages / Delivered Messages) x 100

> **Note:** Read receipts are only available if the recipient has enabled them in their WhatsApp settings.

### Response Rate

The response rate measures how many recipients replied to your messages.

**Calculation**: (Responses / Delivered Messages) x 100

### Click-Through Rate (CTR)

For messages containing links, CTR measures how many recipients clicked:

**Calculation**: (Link Clicks / Delivered Messages) x 100
