How it works

1

Compose an email in Gmail

Open Gmail and start composing an email as usual. Click the "Track with HummingDeck" button in the compose toolbar.

2

Select your file

Choose a PDF, PowerPoint, or Word document from your computer or your HummingDeck library. The file is uploaded and converted automatically.

3

Share and track

A tracked link replaces the attachment in your email. Send it and get real-time notifications when your recipient opens, reads, and comes back.

What you get with every tracked link

Per-page analytics

See which pages your recipient read, how long they spent on each, and where they dropped off. Understand what matters to them before your next conversation.

Real-time notifications

Get notified the moment someone opens your document. Know exactly when a prospect is looking at your proposal so you can follow up at the perfect time.

Bot filtering

Email security scanners and link previews trigger false opens in pixel-based trackers. HummingDeck filters bots automatically so every view is a real person.

Multi-viewer detection

Know when your recipient forwards your document to a colleague. See each viewer separately: their location, device, and engagement, even on a single link.

Built for the way you sell

Track proposals

Send pricing proposals from Gmail and know the moment your prospect opens them. See which sections they revisit to tailor your follow-up.

Share pitch decks

Replace bulky PowerPoint attachments with lightweight tracked links. Investors and prospects get a polished viewer. You get page-level engagement data.

Send case studies

Share case studies after discovery calls and see which ones resonate. Know whether your prospect read the whole thing or bounced after the first page.

Frequently asked questions

Can I track email attachments from Gmail?
Not directly. Email attachments are local files with no connection back to you. With the HummingDeck Chrome extension, you share a tracked link instead of attaching a file. You get per-page analytics, return visit alerts, and bot filtering, all from inside Gmail.
Does this work with Outlook?
The extension is currently available for Gmail (web). For Outlook and other email clients, you can create tracked links in the HummingDeck dashboard and paste them into any email.
How is this different from Mailtrack or Streak?
Mailtrack and Streak track whether your email was opened using invisible pixels. HummingDeck tracks what happens with the document you share: which pages they read, how long per page, whether they forwarded it, and when they came back. It works regardless of the recipient's email client or privacy settings.
Is the Chrome extension free?
Yes. The Chrome extension works on all HummingDeck plans including the free plan. No credit card required.
