Would it be possible in the future to provide an html snippet that you could paste in a mail client signature to track?

@davidmaliglowka That's a nice one👍. We will definitely work on it

@davidmaliglowka @akhil_ks7 This is what I would be after to make full use of this. I use Safari still, not Chrome, and therefore relying on a Chrome extension is not ideal

Great, looks good. It's similar to Bybrand https://www.bybrand.io/en Wisestamp and Htmlsig Only similar has no email tracking. Do you put 1px image in the signature to track?

Maker
@bernardocastro Yeah. we also serve users who just need tracking
Kyrylo Taranenko

Can't figure how to change the size of the signature (looks HUGE as to the message text). Is it even possible?

Pros:

Setup is clean and clear, the signature is informative and looks great

Cons:

Needed to refill all the fields again once I left the dashboard and then returned.

@akhil_ks7 is it safe? is it possible for your servers to read/fetch the content of our mails?
akhil k.s
Maker
@krushnaal_pai We don't read your emails. In Case of tracking, we only take minimal data so that we can just identify the email and receiver. Content is never sent to our server and that is the reason why we don't have send later functionality at this moment. Hope I answer your question.

@akhil_ks7 Does it work with outlook for mac or just gmail?
Joshua Luft

Will most likely be adding the rest of my team as well, do you offer any referral or enterprise discounts?

Pros:

Signature element is great, but the tracking is the why I'm signing up for a premium plan.

Cons:

None experienced thus far

Within five minutes of signing up, I received three marketing emails. Onboarding 101: don't use my email without my permission to send me spam. If I'm interested, I'll signup.

@macconnollyco We're extremely sorry for the trouble. We were running some campaigns on PH launch. Thanks for writing to us and we have changed the preferences.
Abel Kuruvilla
Do you guys provide IP and other informations regarding the user who read the mail? or is it just read alert? What happens when you send it to a group of people?
akhil k.s
Maker
@abel_kuruvilla Multi-user tracking is on our list and will be available very soon. Regarding the location, Currently we don't provide IP. It is not always reliable since clients like Gmail provide their own IP instead of the original location

Fantastic job guys! I just tried it out and it works great. Would love the option to customize the signature by manually editing the html. Is it possible to remove the headshot and replace it with an invisible pixel image?
akhil k.s
Maker
@sorabbhardwaj Thanks for the feedback. We'll be adding more templates but trying to stick to simplicity by avoiding much customisation options. We would love to reach out if you are interested in contributing to the templates.
@Bernardamus
Interesting App , I am going to give it a try to boost my mailing : I just wonder if Mailcastr can really distinguish a HUMAN from a connected app "reading" the INBOX ...
Adil Gherib
Cool. Looking forward to the iOS one. Is it possible to upgrade using a credit card without having to sign up to Paypal? I have only problems using Paypal around the world
akhil k.s
Maker
@adilovitchsky Sure. You don't need to signup for paypal. Just go with your card.
Adil Gherib
@akhil_ks7 I can't buddy. It says either "I already have a PayPal account." or "I need to create a PayPal account"

Maker
@adilovitchsky Let me create a ticket and our team will reach to you regarding the issue very soon.
Jason Bunnell
Cool product. $2/month seems high, but I would do it for $1/month if paid upfront. The site says 30% off but don't see how to get that. Has a link to this page.

I want to give you my money but you won't let me 🙈 Paypal throws an error that the pricing should be in INR Can't pay in INR because no pay by card option Have mailed support 2 days back, never heard back!

@rish404 Rishabh, Sorry for the delay in reply. We had a hectic day in support desk. currently, we are not able to accept payment from India since we are using PayPal. But we have done necessary measures to supercharge your emailing. Please check your account now!
Rish Agarwal
@akhil_ks7 No worries! A lot of people I passed the product link to are impressed and want to jump into pro plans. You might want to figure out the payment gateway soon!

Would love to see more minimal signature templates added. I'm sure you guys are working on it. All the best.

Pros:

Elegant design | Super easy to create and use signature templates.

Cons:

Couldn't really differentiate between paid/free plans in a glance.

Another reason to install PixelBlock. 😉

@rrhoover Another extension to add to our blacklist😉
Sarath Perumpillichira Vavachan

Well, I see a lot of room for improvements.

Keep working on it guys. It can be huge someday!

Pros:

Ad-Free, Cool signatures, Fine dashboard, easy UI / UX.

Cons:

Don't work in Email clients like Mailbird, Thunderbird, Outlook etc.

Little worried about the User privacy.

I had been using this for last one month, and mailcastr has managed to help me in knowing whether the mail was opened or not. I really wish if we could add this in our company mails.

Pros:

Simple to use. Really useful for me. Email tracking is something I always wanted so that I know whether the mail was opened or not.

Cons:

Nothing

Thanks for being one of our early users. Your feedbacks has helped us in improving the product
Luis Manjarrez
Hey Abin, I use https://missiveapp.com/ as my email client and you can track reads in all your emails, company ones included. The best part is that you can chat within emails and delegate them, etc.

Does it works with Inbox by Gmail ?
akhil k.s
Maker
@stephanejuban Not now. currently only on Gmail only. But we are on alpha stage with inbox. Do you prefer inbox over Gmail?
akhil k.s
Maker
@stephanejuban Yeah. Most of our users who prefer inbox says like this. We will let you know when we are ready for inbox. Do you use any similar one on inbox now?
Matthew John
Looks good! Do you have something that works with Gmail on iOS?
