Email Tracking from Gmail

Streak Freemium Beginner

Once your email is well written, the next problem is knowing whether it was even opened, and Streak sits directly inside Gmail for free to tell you that. It's worth having before you send your first batch of cold emails so you can tell a bad subject line from a good email that just needs a follow-up.

  • See exactly when a recipient opens your email so you can time a follow-up
  • A free Gmail-based tool needs no separate outreach platform to get started
  • Open data tells you whether the problem is your subject line or your body
