Mailtrack's real-time desktop notifications alert you in real-time when someone opens your emails.
This feature is particularly useful if you want to use real-time email tracking for your email campaigns.
How to enable desktop notifications
Desktop push notifications are enabled by default. You can choose to enable or disable them in your notification settings.
And in our tracking menu in the Gmail composer.
How to allow notifications in Chrome
Sometimes, it may be necessary to allow notifications in Chrome's notification settings.
As Google's Chrome Help Center explains, you can complete these steps to allow notifications in Chrome:
- Open a new tab in Chrome
- Copy and paste chrome://settings/content/notifications into the address bar
- Scroll down to the Allowed to send notifications section
Click Add then type "mailsuite.com" in the text box of the pop-up that appears
How to enable notifications on Windows
On Windows, real-time desktop notifications may be blocked at the OS level. There are two things to check:
- Focus Assist: Make sure Focus Assist is disabled, as it blocks real-time notifications.
- Windows Notifications & actions settings: In the Windows search bar, type Notifications & actions settings and open it. Scroll down until you find Google Chrome, then click on it. Make sure both Show notification banners and Show notifications in action center are turned on.
How to mute notifications
You can mute desktop notifications using the options in the notification itself or in your notification settings.
When you receive a real-time notification, you have the option to Mute this conversation or Mute all notifications. You can select your preference.
In your notification settings, you can enable or disable the notifications you no longer wish to receive.
