How would you like to know if the messages you have sent have been read or not by the recipient? This is one of the most frequent searches on the Internet, since the curiosity to know if our messages have been given importance is one of the factors that prevail at that time. To do this, logically we should look for an alternative to help us track our sent messages, there are some options to host, some being paid and others free.
In the following review we will mention a few aspects that can be presented at the time of track our messages sent, giving as practical examples to two services that at the time, have provided a suitable solution for those who want to know if their emails have been read.
Spypig to track our sent messages
Arguably one of the most important online services to be used at any given time to track our messages sent by email is that; Spypig.com worked perfectly fine for a good season, although in certain regions of the globe, the service is down. The message that you can admire in the screenshot that we have proposed (red box) is the one that can now be seen in different parts and where it is anticipated that something has failed when trying to request the service.
The operation was one of the simplest to use, since without the need to perform a registration, it was only required to:
- Place our email. This is in order for the service to inform us when our message has been read.
- A message or title. This option will only serve to identify the email we have sent.
- Use a follow-up figure. A few faces or a message can be used as a signature of our message.
- Generate the spy image. By clicking on button number 4, you must copy the previously chosen figure and paste it in the body of the message as a signature.
The only thing that was required to do later, is to send the email and voila, when the recipient opens it, a response message will arrive in our mailbox with the recipient's IP address and the time at which the message was read .
WhoReadme to track our sent messages
Another very interesting service that we could use is the web application whoreadme.com, which, unlike the previous one, requires a registration of our data using the form proposed by its developers; Among the information that we must enter, our email must be present, since we will receive the notification of the opening of the messages we send. In the interface of this web application (at the top of it) we find different tools, which are:
- Monitoring reports. There we will see the list of all the messages that we have sent and those that have been read by the recipient.
- Composition:. In this area we will have the possibility to write our letter.
- Drafts. We can leave a draft message if we don't want to send it at that time.
- Address book. If we are going to use the service frequently, it is best to create a list of contacts to whom we will send our messages.
- Account. Here we can configure some internal data of the account to track our messages sent.
Both services have immense advantages and disadvantages, which we will mention immediately. In the above (spypig) the service is no longer available due to a failure of the developers' servers of the same, this being the only disadvantage since the advantage is in the free service, the ease of use and of course, the possibility of not entering our personal data to use it.
The service we have mentioned has the advantage that we can write all our messages to send from here; unfortunately if we want to have a backup of these emails in our personal tray, they do not exist since these messages are being written from an external service.
