Track Your Gmail Messages and See When They Are Read

Have you ever wanted to know whether an email you sent from Gmail was read and/or if a link inside of an email you sent was ever clicked? The Bananatag application helps to track Gmail messages to get these answers.

With Bananatag you can track Gmail messages from within Gmail to see when those emails have been opened, as well as when a link in the email has been clicked. Email clients other than Gmail work just as well. Bananatag is easy to set up and even easier to use.

Getting Started

1. Install the appropriate Bananatag extension for your browser. If you happen to install from their website, you’ll need to create an account first and will then be directed to the appropriate download link.

Bananatag is available for both Google Chrome and Firefox; it works with Outlook, Gmail, and more. For this tutorial, I’ll be using Bananatag for Gmail in Google Chrome.

Sending and Tracking Email Messages

2. Head on over to your email and you should see two shiny new buttons in your Gmail account: Bananatag and Tag. The Bananatag button takes you to your Dashboard, and the Tag button sends and tracks your email.

3. You’ll want to be sure to add your time zone in the settings (under the Account menu from the Dashboard).

4. Now you can send emails as you normally would, except you’re going to use the “Tag” button when sending your messages (instead of “Send”). It’s recommended that you use this method to test emails that are opened as opposed to sending an email to yourself for testing purposes.

You’ll get email notifications when your emails have been opened and links have been clicked.

Note: With a free Bananatag account you’re limited; you can only track five emails per day. Since you get to choose which emails to track, you’ll want to choose wisely.

Check Your Analytics

5. You can check your email analytics (aka bananalytics) from the dashboard to see how well your emails are performing. You can see unopened vs. opened, unique vs. repeat, unclicked vs. clicked, desktop vs. mobile, and more.

Using Bananatag to track Gmail and other email is extremely easy: just click on the Tag button instead of the Send – it’s a piece of cake!

You can even use Bananatag to track Gmail in more than one account; you’ll just need to create a separate login for each account.

How to Send Messages from Gmail to Evernote

Evernote is one of the most popular notetaking services available right now. Not only can you save a note with Evernote, but you can even save web pages, clips, videos and much more. With support for almost all the devices and platforms, it makes it really easy to get the notes synchronized and saved on all your devices. You can even send messages from your Inbox in Gmail to Evernote and save them in a separate notebook as backup or for reference purposes.

If you search the Internet, you will come across some Google Apps scripts that can help you accomplish this task. Even IFTTT service allows you to create recipes to perform this task, but this might be a time-consuming task. If you are looking for a simple and easy way to transfer messages from Gmail to Evernote, give Powerbot for Gmail a try.

Powerbot for Gmail is a very handy extension that allows users to send Gmail messages to Evernote with a single click. The extension even sends attachments that comes with any email as well. The extension supports multiple browsers including Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

Using Powerbot for Gmail

When you install the extension for the first time, It will ask you to connect your Gmail and Evernote account with Powerbot. It will show you step by step instructions on how to connect your accounts.

After connecting your accounts, just refresh your Gmail inbox and open any email that you want to send to Evernote. What this extension does is adds a “Send to Evernote” button to all your messages in two different places. One is placed in your email message, and the other one is placed in the Gmail interface, in case you want to send an entire email thread to your Evernote account.

Clicking on the Send to Evernote button will open a pop-up message that will ask you to select the desired notebook you want the message or thread saved to. You can also add tags and comments to the specific note as well. Clicking on the Save button will show you a confirmation message after the note has been saved to Evernote.

Another handy feature of the extension is that you can even add notes/notebook from your Evernote account to your emails as well. When you compose a new email, it will show you an “Insert Notebook/Note” button that allows you to attach a file. It will add a link to that specific notebook/note in the email.

Managing Saved Notes

The most promising feature of the extension is that it even allows you to manage the notes you have saved to your Evernote account. All you have to do is open this URL, and it will show you all the notes you have saved to your account using Powerbot, along with the date of the message, links, date when it was synced and more.

Conclusion

Powerbot for Gmail is one of the most useful extensions I have used so far. With a single click, you can save your messages in Gmail to Evernote without any issues or long procedures. Using the Google Apps script might be confusing for many new users who do not know coding. It’s better to use an extension like Powerbot to make things easier.
