In order for us to start tracking the links in your emails, you need to enable this feature and specify the domains you want us to track:
Compose an email as you would normally, and make sure you add a recipient and the email title (subject). Now, before you send the email, you need to activate the LeadBoxer tracking for each individual email by clicking the three dots icon and selecting the Track this e-mail option from the LeadBoxer menu item.
This will add the tracking pixel and append the links inside your emails with tracking parameters.
Once the email is sent, you can see tracking details either from within Outlook, or log in to the LeadBoxer app and see all activity.
