What Gmail link tracking does
Tracked links use a redirect or unique tracking address so a click event can be recorded before the visitor continues to the intended destination. OpenDot can then associate that click activity with email engagement.
OPENDOT GUIDE
Link tracking for Gmail
Open tracking tells you that a message generated activity. Link tracking can show which content attracted a click. OpenDot Pro combines both signals so Gmail users can follow up with more context.
Why clicks matter
A click can be a stronger signal than an open because it shows interaction with a specific call to action, document, pricing page, booking page or other resource. For sales and client work, this can help prioritise follow-up.
Use clicks without over-interpreting them
A click does not always mean purchase intent. Security scanners can sometimes check links automatically, and shared inboxes can involve multiple people. Use click data together with replies, conversation history and business context.
OpenDot Pro link intelligence
OpenDot Pro adds link tracking and click analytics to the Gmail email-tracking workflow, alongside professional PDF reports and additional engagement reporting.
