How do I track email open and click rates for discount campaigns?

I'm struggling to understand how to effectively track the performance of my email discount campaigns. I want to know which emails are generating the most engagement, which subject lines and offers are most compelling, and how to measure the true impact of my promotional efforts. My current email marketing feels like a shot in the dark, and I need a systematic approach to measuring open rates, click-through rates, and ultimately, conversion rates from these campaigns.
