Top menu

Tracking

Mixmax allows you to track when your recipients open your emails or click/download the email content.

Turning Tracking on or off for individual emails

You can choose different types of tracking for each individual message. Mixmax allows you to track email opens, clicks, and downloads.

To enable tracking for an email, in the Gmail Compose window, hover your cursor over the lightning symbol button to open the Tracking menu. Simply check the boxes next to the tracking types you wish to enable.

Clicks/downloads tracking is available if you are on the Small Business plan and above.

Tracking for individual messages

Opens in your Sent folder

You can check opens for tracked messages directly from your Gmail Sent folder. Just find the tracked email and check the lightning bolt icon.

If the lightning bolt is grey, it means no one has opened your message.

The lightning bolt that is colored in (the exact color depends on your selected Theme) means the message was opened โ€” hover over the lightning bolt to open a popup window with the details on who opened the message and when.

If you are on the Small Business plan and above, you can also see where the recipient was located when the email was opened.
