# vdq.tracking

## Overview

Strategies that carry a queue item's key on an outgoing email and read it back from a tracking event.

## Classes

- [EmailTrackingStrategy](/v3/reference/api/py/vueda.vdq.tracking/EmailTrackingStrategy.md)
- [MetadataEmailTrackingStrategy](/v3/reference/api/py/vueda.vdq.tracking/MetadataEmailTrackingStrategy.md)

## `get_email_tracking_strategy` {#get_email_tracking_strategy}

Instantiate the strategy that ``VDQ_EMAIL_TRACKING_STRATEGY`` names.

The setting holds the strategy class or its dotted import path. A dotted path lets a settings module name
a strategy without importing VDQ models before Django's app registry is ready. Without the setting,
``MetadataEmailTrackingStrategy`` is used.
