reads your message.

Traditional
read receipts v/s Email tracking
ü A traditional read receipt will ask
recipient’s every-time, if you want to send back the response? Recipient’s
might say “no” and sender will never know the email is opened or not.
ü While Email tracking is seamless and
works silently in the background and doesn’t let’s recipients know that the
email is already tracked by the sender.
