Frequently asked questions

More questions? We’re here to help.

How does email tracking work?

Email tracking tools add an invisible image of one pixel inside the emails. This pixel image is loaded when the recipient opens the emails, allowing you to know when it's opened.

Other information can be collected when the image is loaded such as the device or browser used (found from the user agent) or the location (found from the IP address).

How can I track email?

1. Install MailTracker Chrome extension.

2. Compose and Send Your Email: After the installation, compose your email as usual, but before sending it, enable the email tracking feature provided by MailTracker.

3. Tracking Data: Once the email is sent, MailTracker will start monitoring the recipient's interactions with the email. This include tracking when the email is opened, how many times it's opened.

4. Real-Time Notifications: You'll receive real-time notifications when the email will be open for the first time.

5. Analyze and Follow Up: Use the tracking data to analyze the recipient's engagement with your email. Based on this information, you can tailor your follow-up approach and timing.

How to follow-up email using email tracking?

Monitor Engagement: Keep a close eye on the email tracking data to see how the recipient interacts with your email. Note how many times they open the email, if they click on any links, or engage with the content.

Assess the Recipient's Level of Interest: The recipient's behavior can give you insights into their level of interest or engagement with your message. Multiple opens may indicate they found the content intriguing, while lack of engagement might suggest a lower level of interest or busy schedule.

Tailor Your Follow-Up: Based on the recipient's behavior, customize your follow-up approach:

High Engagement: If the recipient has opened the email multiple times or engaged with specific content, it shows a strong interest. In this case, you can be more proactive and direct in your follow-up. Consider mentioning that you noticed their interest and ask if they have any questions or need further information.

Low Engagement: If the recipient has not opened the email or shown minimal engagement, a more gentle and subtle follow-up might be appropriate. You can acknowledge that you sent the email and ask if they received it, offering to resend it if needed. Alternatively, you can rephrase your initial message to make it more appealing.

Timing: Consider the timing of your follow-up based on the recipient's behavior. If they have recently opened the email multiple times, it might indicate current interest, and you can follow up sooner. If the engagement was in the past, wait a bit longer before following up.

Personalization: Use the insights gained from email tracking to personalize your follow-up. Reference specific sections of the email they engaged with or address any concerns they might have raised.

Respectful and Professional: Always be respectful and professional in your follow-up, regardless of the recipient's behavior. Avoid being pushy or aggressive, as it could lead to a negative impression.

Consider Other Channels: If you notice limited email engagement, consider reaching out through other communication channels (e.g., phone call) to increase your chances of connecting with the recipient.

Remember that email tracking provides valuable data, but it's only one part of the follow-up process. Building meaningful relationships and providing value in your communications are essential for successful follow-ups.

What information does MailTracker store about recipients?

MailTracker doesn’t store the email address of your recipient nor the content of the emails you send to them. The only information related to the recipients you send tracked emails to is:

- The open dates of the tracked emails.
- The sending date of the tracked emails and their identification numbers.
- In some cases, the IP address from which the recipient opened the tracked emails. The IP address is only partially stored to make sure it’s impossible to identify the recipients precisely (the last part of the IP address is replaced by “0”).

Therefore, MailTracker does not store any personally identifiable information about your recipients.

How accurate is an email tracker?

The accuracy of an email tracker can vary depending on several factors. While email tracking technologies have improved over the years, they are not foolproof and may encounter limitations. Here are some factors that can affect the accuracy of an email tracker:

Email Client Support: The accuracy of email tracking can be affected by the recipient's email client and its support for tracking technologies. Some email clients may block or disable tracking pixels or other tracking elements, which can lead to incomplete or inaccurate tracking data.

Images Blocked: Some email clients block images by default, and since email trackers often use tracking pixels (invisible images), the opening of an email may not be registered if the recipient doesn't choose to display images.

Multiple Devices: Recipients may access emails on different devices (e.g., desktop, mobile, tablet), and the tracker might not be able to accurately link these interactions, leading to incomplete data.

Third-Party Firewalls and Security Software: Some recipients might use security software or firewalls that block or alter tracking elements, affecting the accuracy of the tracking data.

Email Forwarding: If an email is forwarded to another recipient, the tracking data might not be associated correctly with the initial sender's intent.

Cached Content: If a recipient opens an email multiple times but loads cached content, it may not be registered as separate opens.

Is email tracking legal?

In many countries, email tracking is legal as long as the sender obtains the recipient's consent before employing any tracking techniques. The MailTracker case is a little different as MailTracker doesn't identify specific recipients. They add a pixel associated with a message ID, allowing them to know if the email was opened, but not if a specific recipient opened it.
