After you install Mailtrack and begin to send tracked emails, we recommend enabling notifications so you can know exactly when someone interacts with your message. Mailtrack has notifications for all of the following:
- Email opens (what this article covers)
- Link clicks
- Attached document views
- Follow-up reminders
- Conversation revivals
- Reports: Daily reports, productivity reports, and campaign reports
How to enable email open notifications
There are two ways to enable email open notifications: from your dashboard or directly in your Gmail inbox.
In your dashboard
- Go to your dashboard
- Navigate to Settings and Privacy > Notifications
- Check the box in the Email column next to when emails are opened. You also have the option to check the box in the Notification column, which will send you a push notification.
- Once you've enabled the notifications you wish to receive, click Save settings.
In Gmail
- After you compose your email, click the settings icon next to the Send button
- Then click Notifications and check the box in the Email column next to when email's opened. You can also enable other notifications from this menu.
- Click Send to send your tracked email.
How to turn off email open notifications
To turn off all email notifications, visit the notifications settings page and follow these steps:
- Go to Settings and Privacy > Notifications.
- Uncheck the box for when emails are opened.
- Click Save settings.
Please note that if you disable email open notifications, you may still receive email notifications for tracked emails that you sent prior to disabling the feature. Changes to your notification settings only apply to newly sent emails and are not retroactive.
