Email signature insights, with the limits made clear.

Sign Pulsar can count estimated remote-image signals and tagged-link clicks for paid, tracking-enabled signatures. The dashboard is useful for trends—not for identifying recipients or proving that a person read an email.

Insights — fictional aggregate preview

Fictional sample data. Open signals can be created or suppressed by privacy proxies, image blocking, forwarding, prefetching, bots, and security scanners.
Step by step

How Sign Pulsar insights work

  1. 1

    Enable insights deliberately

    A paid user turns tracking on for a signature before export. Tracking is optional and stops accepting events when paid entitlement expires.

  2. 2

    Install the tracking-enabled export

    The exported signature can include tagged destination links and a tiny remote image. Sign Pulsar does not connect to your inbox or read message content.

  3. 3

    Requests create limited signals

    A remote-image request may create an estimated open signal. A tagged-link request may create a click before redirecting to the HTTPS destination.

  4. 4

    Automation is filtered and aggregated

    Sign Pulsar filters common scanner traffic and repeated requests, then shows combined totals for your workspace. Automated activity can still affect those totals, so treat them as estimates.

  5. 5

    Read trends, not identities

    Review 7-, 30-, or 90-day estimated opens, clicks, tracked-signature counts, and top links. Without a sent-message denominator, Sign Pulsar does not calculate an open or click rate.

Fictional example

Example: comparing link interest without naming recipients

A consultant compares aggregate clicks to Services and Book a call across 30 days. The result can guide which link deserves prominence, but it does not reveal which recipient clicked or whether that person intends to buy.

Fictional top links
  1. Services31 clicks
  2. Book a call18 clicks
  3. About11 clicks
Aggregate counts only. No recipient identity or buying-intent claim.

Use insights responsibly

  • Give recipients any notice or choice required by applicable law and workplace policy
  • Treat estimated opens as directional because privacy systems can pre-load or block images
  • Use tagged-link clicks as aggregate behavior, not personal profiling
  • Keep tracking off when it is unnecessary for the communication
  • Read the Privacy Policy before enabling tracking for a team

Specific answers

Questions about this guide

Can Sign Pulsar tell me who opened an email?

No. Sign Pulsar returns aggregate estimated open signals and tagged-link clicks. It does not store recipient email addresses in its tracking tables or identify a person from the dashboard.

Why are opens only estimates?

Remote images can be blocked or privately downloaded before a person reads the message. Forwarding, bots, privacy proxies, and security scanners can also create or suppress requests.

Does Sign Pulsar calculate an open rate?

No. The current service does not know how many messages were sent, so it has no valid denominator for open or click rates.
