Receiving a read receipt is sometimes essential. Especially when you have sent an important email and you want to confirm that the recipient of that email has read it. Usually desktop clients like Microsoft Outlook have it. Personal Gmail does not. Read receipts are only available to Google Apps for Business, Education, and Government customers.
RightInbox is your tool to introduce email tracking to Gmail. RightInbox is a Firefox and Chrome extension that seamlessly integrates with Gmail and brings many email management features to your personal Gmail account.
Take a look at some of RightInbox’s key features.
Track your emails in Gmail
RightInbox adds three new buttons to your compose window. We will talk about Send now And Send later scheduling nodes a little later. First, the Follow Now button is the one that must be clicked if you want to know if your email has reached your recipient’s inbox or has been ignored, or worse, deleted without being read.
Compose your email and click the Follow button to activate it. After you send an email (or schedule it to be sent later with RightInbox scheduling) and the recipient opens the email in their account, you’ll receive an email notification that the email has been read. The tracking feature also lets you know when a link from your message was clicked. The link tracking feature is useful because it will let you know if the email has just been opened or if it has been carefully read by the recipient.
Here’s a RightInbox video demonstrating simple tracking:
Schedule your email delivery
In our busy times, email scheduling is a productivity tool. Considering that everyone works in different time zones, and some emails are not only date sensitive but also time sensitive, scheduling emails should be a default Gmail feature. RightInbox allows you to schedule emails using the two buttons located next to the follow button. You can click the Send Later button and choose a time frame to send your email. It could be in 1, 2 or 4 o’clock, tomorrow morning, tomorrow afternoon or a specific time.
As you can see from the screen above, a thought-provoking (albeit sensible) feature is that RightInbox has a field for the time zone. Emails scheduled to be sent later are saved in the Drafts folder. You can choose to delete them if you change your mind about sending them. When they are sent, the emails are moved to the Sent folder. RightInbox doesn’t change the way email typically moves in Gmail.
RightInbox is currently in beta. After that, premium plans can be introduced with more features, along with a free version. Do you think these two features fill the gap in Gmail?
