Hey there 👋, how can we help?

Find out who read your emails in Outlook

1. How totle read receipt works

  • totle put a 1px square image embedded in your email and the image file is transparent and invisible. 
  • Once the tiny and hidden image is loaded, it can report the times and dates their associated email was opened, as well as the location of the device used, and the email client involved. 
  • If the recipients disable images from automatically loading, you won't be able to use read receipts.

2. Turn read receipts on and notifications

  • You can track whether the recipients have opened your email without the recipient knowing. Once you install totle program, the read receipt feature will automatically turn on, and you can easily find out if someone opened your emails by setting up real-time notifications.
