Email open tracking

A read receipt on every quote you send.

Replaces personal WhatsApp, a mobile number and a lot of interruptions. The "what time are you coming?" calls stop, and every message is on the customer record.

Communications & Voice in Gaffer
Why it matters

Customers kept informed without anyone pressing send.

Two-way SMS and email from one inbox, automatic updates at every job milestone, and an optional VoIP line with an AI receptionist that answers when you are on a roof.

The "what time are you coming?" calls stop, because the customer already knows.

What you get
  • Lives on the job, the customer and the site it belongs to — not in a separate tool with its own login.
  • Available on the web and in the offline-first mobile app, so it is completed on site rather than back at the office.
  • Every record is timestamped, attributed to whoever created it, and kept in the audit log.
  • Included for every user across all 58 trades, with no per-user fee.

Step 06 of the job: paid

The customer pays by card, Apple Pay or Direct Debit. Xero or QuickBooks are updated. A review request goes out. And eleven months later, the annual service reminder books the next job.

Email open tracking is one part of that step. The rest of the job — quoting, scheduling, certificates, invoicing and payment — runs in the same system, on the same record. See the whole job →

Common questions

About email open tracking

Something else? support@rungaffer.com

What does email open tracking replace?

For most trade businesses, personal WhatsApp, a mobile number and a lot of interruptions. The "what time are you coming?" calls stop, and every message is on the customer record.

Does email open tracking work on a phone, and offline?

Yes. The mobile app is offline-first: records created on site are stored on the device and synced automatically, in order, when signal returns. Lofts, plant rooms and rural sites were the design brief.

Which plan is it on?

Every paid plan. Email open tracking is included for unlimited users at no extra cost — the monthly, annual and lifetime plans differ only in how you pay.

How long does it take to start using?

Minutes. Start a 14-day free trial with no card, pick your trades at sign-up, and email open tracking is switched on with your trade's templates already in place.
