View tracking
Know when your Word document is opened
How can I tell if someone opened a Word document I sent?
A .docx attachment can't tell you. Upload it to PDF Deck and send the link instead: it opens in the browser like a PDF, and each view records when and where it was opened and, on Pro, how long they spent on each page and who they were. You can be alerted by email, Slack or HubSpot.
