Please view our Gmail set-up demo below:
Tracking multiple team member senders within the same Thermometer
You can aggregate a team’s scores using a single Thermometer within your account, whilst also tracking individuals’ scores within that team.
Once your first signature has been generated, you can create your next colleague’s tracking links by changing the two fields shown above (in custom 1 and 2) to contain your next colleague’s details. Click the “Generate Hyperlinks” button again, to generate a new set of unique tracking links for team member #2. These will then be specific to that agent.
We recommend copying each set of links into a word doc or email and sending them on, ready for each team member to add them into their signature.
Repeat as many times as you need to. Return to your Thermometer as often as you wish to regenerate additional team members.
