OPENDOT GUIDE
OpenDot adds practical email tracking to Gmail so you can see open activity, understand engagement and follow up with better context — directly from the workflow you already use.
A Gmail email tracker adds engagement signals to sent email. Depending on the plan and feature, OpenDot can record opens and link clicks, show activity in an engagement view and send real-time desktop alerts. These signals help you decide when a follow-up may be timely.
Open tracking is an indicator, not proof that a specific person read or understood a message. Image blocking, privacy protections and automated scanners can affect results.
Install the OpenDot Chrome extension, sign in and keep composing email in Gmail as usual. OpenDot is designed to stay lightweight: you do not need to move your contacts into a separate CRM just to get basic engagement visibility.
For professionals who send proposals, quotes, client updates, recruiting messages or sales outreach, that can make follow-up more informed without changing the core email workflow.
Open activity: see when a tracked email records an open and how many open events were captured.
Link activity: Pro users can see when tracked links are clicked, which can provide a stronger sign of interest than an open alone.
Engagement reporting: review sent, open and click signals and export professional PDF reports on eligible plans.
Email tracking is useful when timing matters. Examples include following up on a quote after it is opened, checking whether a client has engaged with a project update, or prioritising sales prospects who clicked a pricing or booking link.
Use engagement data as context rather than as a guarantee of intent.
