Doubletick Email Tracking Cover

We at Officexlr tried many different email tracking solutions for our sales team to keep track of our prospects but none of them were able to integrate seamlessly with Gmail and we found ourselves now using two different application for one simple task.

No seamless integration with Gmail

Using another application to just see the status of tracked email resulted in the loss of productivity and also these solutions were not cheap.

Uncomfortable account permissions

Most of these available email tracking solutions need full READ, WRITE, MODIFY access of your Gmail account, which is quite too much to ask from a business and we were quite uncomfortable with that.

We decided to build our own email tracker!

So we decided to build an email tracking solution which will show the status of email right inside the inbox and will work almost automatically and will not need any Gmail account permission

And thus Doubletick was BORN!

Sample Inbox of a Doubletick User

Doubletick needs no Gmail account permissions and integrates seamlessly inside Gmail. Everything happens on the client side and no sensitive information is transferred back to our servers.

Features we have included in Doubletick

  1. Unlimited Email Tracking
  2. Real-Time Open Notifications
  3. Get double check marks in your sent box
  4. Link Tracking (coming soon)
  5. Dashboard (coming soon)

Right now doubletick is free for unlimited emails for unlimited time but contains “Sent via Doubletick” branding in it. To remove this branding we offer a paid plan for $24 per year.
