Know, don't guess when your emails are read
Have you ever sent an email and wondered if it got lost on its way? Maybe you're waiting for a reply that never comes. Well, TraceMail is here to help with that. It's a tool that tells you exactly when someone opens your email. Let's look at how TraceMail is made and why it's great for everyone.
Research Project
TraceMail started as a question: How can we know if our emails are being read? This curiosity kicked off our research phase. We searched online on how other platforms do this. Our goal was to understand the main pain points of email communication. This phase was all about gathering insights to fuel our project. We found out that:
Around 30% of incoming emails already use tracking
Email tracking is mostly used for sales and marketing purposes
Growing demand for email tracking in other sectors
Design / Development
With a solid understanding of what other competitors did, we moved on to the design and development stage. This was where the fun began. Our team sketched out the user interface, focusing on simplicity and ease of use. Developers then turned these designs into reality, coding away to create a tool that could track emails. Through several iterations, we refined TraceMail, ensuring it was both powerful and user-friendly. With a small team of developers, we built TraceMail using:
NextJS for the frontend and backend
Email tracking pixel
Building a Chrome extension
AI for email tracking
Reporting and analytics dashboard
Project Testing and PWC
No product is complete without thorough testing, and TraceMail was no exception. We put our tool through rigorous tests to catch any bugs and to make sure it worked seamlessly across different email platforms. PWC checked the requirements for safety and compliance Google. Their insights were invaluable, helping us tweak and improve TraceMail to better meet their needs.
