Best Apps To Track Mails

Ever wanted to know when someone opened the email you have just sent?

 In a world full of possibilities, it may be difficult to choose an email analytics tool that perfectly fits to your needs. Some tools are available as freeware for home users, whilst some of them are built specifically for companies which need software for tracking sales and marketing campaigns.

In a today’s world, email is the foundation of almost every business communication. Every day, millions of emails are sent from and within companies in order to communicate their message as fast as possible, in a nonverbal manner.
Apart from just communicating within the company, suppliers and other important people for their business, more and more firms are using email as a part of their marketing plan in order to engage and stimulate their targeted audiences.

Every single detail means something. Don’t you want to know how and how many times has someone read your email? What about time? Wouldn’t you like to know what’s the most convenient time to contact someone? When they’re usually free to fully commit their attention to your email?

In this post I am sharing with you a list of the most popular Gmail tracking software I have found across Internet.

                                                                

1. Yesware

 Yesware this tool comes as free add-on for Chrome and Firefox. Deeply integrated with Gmail it gives a valuable insights each time your email was opened, a link was clicked or attachment was reviewed. It also shows the geo-location where in the world your email is being read. 

The free version provides a monthly limit of 100 tracking events. Follow-up reminders are available and it also can be integrated with third party CRM solutions like SalesForce, SugarCRM. 

2. Sidekick

It does it better than Yesware because it does not send you a notification when you open tracked email like the above mentioned extension does. When it detects a certain activity,SideKick sends you a detailed report, telling you not just who opened or clicked on your emails, but exactly when, from which location, on kind of device (mobile or desktop)  and how many times.  

This precise and highly detail oriented notification lets you understand if the  person is away from their desk, forwarding the email, or even traveling. Although this powerful tool gives a peak under the skirt of people who are reading your emails, you should know that Sidekick could be also used against you. So, the next time you 

say, “I didn’t see that email”, you should probably think twice.

3. ToutApp

 When it comes to email, ToutApp is the complete sales acceleration solution. Whether you are a sales manager or a sales rep, this tool will provide you with everything you need in order to standardize your work, maximize your leads and get a deeper understanding on how to increase your overall productivity.

This tool will give you with everything you need in order to understand what to do next to close deals faster. ToutApp will help you figure out how to streamline repetitive tasks and get the maximum out of your sales team, so that you can spend more time selling.

Just like Yesware, ToutApp comes with its own Salesforce integration, and it focuses on email tracking, templates and analytics. With these four combined elements, you’ll be able to track and analyze your sales prospect like never before, follow up on real time email activity, schedule messages, A/B test your content and figure out which frameworks work better than others and easily update Salesforce from anywhere on the web.

The greatest features of this app are definitely its Live Feed, which tells you when people are reading your email, and what they’re clicking on, and what page on the attachment are reading – all in real time, and its quick-to-use, easy-to-create and easy-to-edit email templates that you can fill in with additional tags, based on contact information or custom fields from the CRM.

4. Streak

Streak is a multipurpose, cloud based CRM tool that‘s usually used for sales, hiring and support. This cool app enhances Gmail’s interface, and basically serves as a bridge between your inbox and other important tools that you use on daily and hourly bases.

Schedules, notifies you when someone has read your email, speeds up sending repetitive emails with custom templates, creates easy shortcuts that make writing serious emails seem like child’s play, sorts your emails not by when you sent them, but when they were viewed, groups specific emails into one box, enables you to share boxes within your team and keep everyone in the loop – these are just some of the key factors why has Streak
received nothing but love from us.

Although still in beta, once installed, Streak’s intuitive makes it easy for the user to quickly get familiar with things. The interface feels and looks like Gmail, and the new features give that impression like they were there before you even installed the app Streak is an extension designed for use within the Safari and Google Chrome web browsers, and it’s currently free to all those who want to use it.

5. ContactMonkey

Although playing in the same sandbox as Yesware, Contact Monkey offers a slightly different approach by putting email marketing tracking front and center with an always-on sidebar inside Outlook and Gmail.

This awesome app that combines email tracking with salesforce within your inbox, can work directly inside of your mail client, or you can use the sidebar that offers the same information about individual emails as a separate thing.

ContactMonkey is a paid service that comes with a free 14 day trial. To get it, you just simply go to the website, sign up, take your free trial, and install one of the available plug-ins for your email client of choice. You can run it on Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007, and in Google Chrome with Gmail. Either way, it offers the same features. The only difference is from which client you want to use it.

The creators of ContactMonkey offer constant, new and always helpful tips on their website, so you can easily figure out how their software works.

6. MailTrack

Just like Sidekick, MailTrack is a free, small and simple extension which lets you track whenever someone reads your email. The primary difference is that MailTrack works only for Gmail, unlike Sidekick who can be attached to Outlook and Apple Mail as well.

To get MailTrack, all you need to do is find it at your Chrome Web Store, click install and in a just couple of seconds, it’ll set up camp in your Gmail account.

To check if a certain person has read your message, hit “Send” and MailTrack will let you know if the recipient opened your email and clicked your links. Simple, effective and without any additional nonsense – Great tool for those who know what do they want from it.
