What Mailalert is
Mailalert is a free email-tracking extension for Gmail. It reports when recipients open messages and when they click links in the message body, then can send real-time updates inside Gmail. The free plan provides unlimited email tracking, open and link tracking, and no branded signature on tracked emails. Mailalert says it does not need access to a Gmail account, does not read email, and requires no registration. It works with Gmail and is described as compatible with G Suite, while Chrome is required. The maker’s roadmap lists iOS and Android support, an activity dashboard, email scheduling and templates, and advanced analytics; these are roadmap items rather than listed current features. The site provides [email protected] as a support contact. Its privacy policy says browser details and IP addresses may be collected in certain cases, and that internet transmission or electronic storage cannot be guaranteed completely secure.
