How to Enable Email Read Receipt Notifications

Enable email read receipts in BIGContacts to monitor when recipients open your emails. This feature allows you to track customer engagement and communication, helping you decide when to follow up without needing to wonder if your email was received or opened.

Use Case

Imagine sending an important proposal to a potential client through BIGContacts and waiting for their feedback. Instead of guessing whether they received or read your email, you can enable read receipts and receive a notification as soon as the recipient opens the email. This keeps you informed without requiring premature follow-ups.

Here’s a sample email notification when you turn on the email read receipts for a contact:
