Email communication plays an important role in today’s business environment. Often, we send an important email and the recipient says that due to confusion or other reasons, he did not receive the mail. This problem can be solved with a simple technique. There is a feature in Gmail which, like WhatsApp, shows you whether your mail has been read or not.

Impact for users

This trick is especially beneficial for individuals who regularly send office or business- emails. Now excuses like “did not see the mail” will end and transparency in work will increase.

Main Features

After installation of this extension, read tracking option will start appearing with every email in Gmail. This means you will get instant information about who read your mail and at what time.

Setup and Use

To use this feature, you need to install Email Tracker Extension in Chrome browser. For this take the following steps:

  • Search Email Tracker Extension on Google.
  • Choose Mail Suite or a similar extension.
  • Click on Add to Chrome and complete the installation.
  • Login with your Google account.

This way, the feature will be activated whenever Gmail is opened.
