OpenedYet for Chrome shows a desktop notification when one of your emails is opened or a link is clicked. Alerts usually arrive within a minute of the open.
If you don’t see alerts
- Check OpenedYet’s settings. Click the OpenedYet icon in Chrome’s toolbar and make sure desktop notifications are on.
- Check Chrome. Open
chrome://settings/content/notificationsand make sure sites and extensions are allowed to send notifications. - Check your computer.
- Windows: Settings → System → Notifications → make sure notifications are on for Google Chrome. Turn off Do not disturb.
- Mac: System Settings → Notifications → Google Chrome → Allow notifications. Check that a Focus mode isn’t on.

Testing alerts
Opening your own email never triggers an alert — here’s why. To test, send an email to another address you own and open it on your phone or in a different email app.

You can also get open alerts by email. Turn on email alerts in your dashboard settings. They’re off by default to keep your inbox quiet.
