Our email tracking feature is currently available on multiple platforms, including Nimble's Contact and Deal record, Messages tab, Group Message, and the Nimble Prospector browser extension. This feature allows users to send tracked emails from any of these features and monitor open/click rates and engagement metrics to ensure success in their email marketing campaigns.

Whether you're a marketer, salesman, or small business owner, the ability to send tracked emails from anywhere you work is essential. Our email tracking feature makes it easy to measure the success of your campaigns and optimize your strategies for maximum results.

Where can I initiate a tracked email in Nimble? 

You can initiate a tracked email from anywhere you can send an email in the web app, on iOS and Android, and in the Nimble Prospector browser extension for Chrome. 

What Is Link-Only Tracking

To improve email deliverability and avoid spam filters, Nimble defaults to link-only tracking. This ensures your messages reach your contact’s inbox without being flagged by providers like Gmail, which often block open tracking pixels. In this article, we’ll explain how link tracking works, why it’s recommended, and when it’s appropriate to use open tracking.

Where do I see reports on my tracked email outreach? 

You'll see the results of your outreach on the Email Tracking widget on your Today Page dashboard, on the Email Tracking tab in Nimble Mobile, and also on the notifications bell in Nimble. 

Email Tracking On Individual Messages in Nimble Web App 

Inside the Nimble web app, you can send and track a message from a contact record or in the Message tab by toggling the switch to the right. Email tracking is enabled by default. Click the toggle to choose other email tracking options.

Here's an example from the Contact record. Simply select "Message" and toggle the switch to the right before sending it out. 

Using Email Tracking in the Nimble Prospector App

We know that you're not always working out of the Nimble web app, which is why we added the ability to send messages with tracking enabled from the browser extension. Common places to compose an email with tracking would be on social networks like Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, or while visiting a company website. If you don't have the contact email for a prospect you're profiling, use enrichment credits to discover their email and then hit send with tracking enabled. 

Above is an example of sending a tracked message from LinkedIn.

Enable Email Tracking in Gmail 

If you aren't already familiar with our workflow in Gmail, you may also send a message with tracking enabled by checking the "Nimble" box to send with tracking. Learn more on our separate FAQ.
