Read Statuses

The Read Statuses feature in Spark for Teams lets users see if and when their sent emails have been opened. It helps teams track communication and follow up efficiently while maintaining privacy for recipients. 

How does it work? 

The Read Statuses feature is displayed as an eye icon, which consists of 3 states: 

• The eye icon has a strikethrough: the email hasn’t been opened by anyone
• The eye icon is greyed out: the email has been opened by someone out of all recipients
• The eye icon is blue: the mail has been opened by all recipients

You can tap or click the eye icon to see the list of recipients who have already seen the email, starting from the last one to read the message at the top. 

To learn how this feature works, please refer to our blog.
