Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) How do I know if someone opens my email? MailTracker adds an invisible tracking pixel to your email. As soon as your recipient opens it, we detect that event and send you an alert (via email or Chrome notification). How does Email Tracking work? When an email is opened, the tracking pixel loads on the recipient’s device. We record the open event, the time, and the device used—without ever accessing the content of your email. Can someone see if I use an email tracker? MailTracker doesn’t insert visible branding or signatures, so recipients generally won’t notice. However, some users may have browser or email security settings that detect trackers. MailTracker is designed to be discreet, but full invisibility cannot be guaranteed if a user’s security software flags all tracking pixels. Why Choose MailTracker? • Simple Setup: Quick Chrome extension—no technical expertise required. • Data Privacy & Security: We never store or read the content of your emails. • Proven Reliability: Over 150,000 active users rely on MailTracker for precise email open tracking and link click insights. How MailTracker Works MailTracker adds a tiny, invisible image to your outbound emails. When your recipient opens the email, that image loads, allowing us to instantly inform you. We also detect the device type—desktop, mobile, or tablet—for better engagement insights. Ready to Elevate Your Email Outreach? Install MailTracker today and experience a new level of efficiency and clarity in your Gmail.
