Hey lemlister!
The lemlist Chrome extension allows users to track emails sent directly from Gmail, not just emails sent through lemlist. This means you can monitor opens and link clicks for any email you send from your Gmail account, helping you follow up at the right time and improve your outreach strategy.
How to Enable Email Tracking in Gmail
The lemlist Chrome extension integrates seamlessly into Gmail and requires minimal setup:
Install the lemlist Chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store.
Open Gmail and compose a new email.
Click the tracking button in the email composer.
Choose what to track: email opens, link clicks, or both.
Send your email as usual.
Receive real-time updates when a recipient interacts with the email.
If you are not logged into lemlist, selecting the tracking option will prompt you to sign in before enabling tracking.
Understanding Email Tracking in Gmail 📧
Once tracking is activated, lemlist provides insights through several tools.
Gmail Sidebar Folders 📁
Tracked emails are automatically sorted into three new folders in Gmail:
All tracked emails – view all monitored emails in one place.
Recently opened emails – check which emails have been opened.
Recently clicked emails – track which links have been clicked.
Engagement Icon in Emails 📤
Each tracked email includes an icon that indicates whether the recipient has opened it or clicked a link. Hovering over the icon reveals additional details, such as the number of interactions and the last engagement timestamp.
Real-Time Notifications ⏰
Users receive instant alerts when an email is opened or a link is clicked, helping them follow up at the right time without unnecessary delays.
