Read receipts for proposals

Know the moment your proposal gets read.

Upload a PDF or an HTML file, send the link yourself, and Tiny Ant tells you when it's opened, how long it's read, and which page or section they lingered on. Call while you're still on their mind, not three days later.

Free for 1 active proposal. No card. No editor to learn.

How it works

Three steps. Two minutes. Then the ant does the waiting.

1

Upload the PDF

Drop in the PDF you already made, or an HTML file. Add recipient names if you want one link per person, or leave it empty for a single shared link.

Paste it into your own email, Slack, or Teams message. Your voice, your thread. We never email your buyer.

Get told when it's read

An email the moment it's opened, a summary when they close it: total time, page by page, and where to start your follow-up call.

The summary email

Not "it was opened."
Where the time went.

Most tracking tools stop at the open. Tiny Ant times every page of a PDF and every section of an HTML proposal, so you know whether they skimmed the cover or sat on the pricing for three minutes. You walk into the follow-up knowing the question before they ask it.

Opened. One email, the moment it happens. Never more than once per 30 minutes.
Read summary. When they close the tab: total time, heat per page, suggested starting point.
Live view. Watch the proposal being read in the app while it's happening.
Webhooks (paid plans). The same events pushed to your CRM, Slack, or Zapier.

What your buyer sees

Tracking they can read about on the page itself.

Hidden pixels make buyers feel watched. Tiny Ant tells them, in plain words, that the page notes when it's opened, and that no cookies or IP addresses are stored. Trust survives the sale. So does your deal.

No cookiesThe session lives in the tab and dies with it.
No IP, no fingerprintWe note phone, tablet or computer. Nothing else about the device.
No sign-in wallThe link just opens. Nothing to accept.

Deliberately small

Everything the big suites make you pay for, we left out on purpose.

You already have a way to write proposals, sign them, and track deals. You're missing one thing: knowing when the PDF gets read. That's the whole product.

Not included

A proposal editor

Keep writing in Google Docs, Word, Canva, or InDesign. Export to PDF. We take it from there, and your layout stays exactly yours.

Not included

E‑signatures

Signing is a legal product with legal pricing. Use the one your buyer already trusts once the reading is done.

Not included

A CRM

No pipeline to maintain, no fields to fill. A proposal list sorted by last activity is all the pipeline a read receipt needs, and webhooks carry the events into the CRM you already have.

Included: the read receipt, timed per page for PDFs and per section for HTML, with a privacy notice your buyer can see.

Questions

The ones we get asked before the first upload.

Does the recipient need an account?

No. The link opens in any browser, on any device. There is nothing to accept, install, or sign in to.

Will my buyer know it is tracked?

Yes, on purpose. A one-line notice sits at the bottom of every viewing page. In our experience this builds more trust than a hidden pixel, and it makes the GDPR conversation a short one.

What if they forward the link?

A named link stays attributed to that recipient, so you will see another visit under their name. If you expect forwarding, create one shared link instead. You can also set links to expire.

Can they download the PDF?

Your call, per proposal. Downloads are allowed by default and can be switched off when you create the links, or later.

What about proposals that are not PDFs?

Upload an HTML file instead and you get the same read receipt. PDFs are timed per page. HTML is timed per section: mark each section with a data-osio attribute and it shows up as its own bar.

Does it integrate with my CRM?

Not with a native CRM integration, and deliberately so. Paid plans get webhooks for opened, read and status events, so you can push them to your CRM, Slack, or Zapier in minutes.

Your next proposal goes out this week. Send it with an ant on it.
