To test that Yesware's email tracking is working properly, we recommend sending an email to test@yesware.com. This test account will open your email automatically, and you should see a tracking event appear in your Yesware activity feed within a few seconds.
When sending the test:
-
Gmail users: Make sure the "Track" checkbox is checked at the bottom of the compose window.
-
Outlook users: Ensure the Yesware Sidebar is open, or use the "Send with Yesware" button if applicable.
Why You Shouldn't Send a Test to Yourself
Yesware does not log opens from your own email address on your own network, to avoid false positives. Sending a tracked email to yourself will typically not trigger a tracking event.
If you still want to test tracking yourself:
-
Send the tracked email to a secondary email address you own.
-
Open that email on a mobile device using cellular data, not WiFi.
This helps avoid being filtered out as a "self-open" based on IP/network detection.
