Bells & Whistles: Using Outlook Email Tracking IDs
Use our Outlook add-in to easily manage Inbox emails by inserting email tracking IDs and numbering replies
Bells & Whistles offers an easy way of tracking email messages and discussion
threads, by adding tracking IDs within the subject of outgoing email replies.
To enable this option, simply open the Bells & Whistles configuration window, then go to the "Other Options" tab and mark the checkbox called "Add tracking ID on every message thread":
By default, Bells & Whistles will start counting IDs from 100000, but you can choose to start counting from a different number, by inserting that number on the counter text box. You can also use a prefix for the counter: this way, if you have multiple Bells & Whistles users, you can make a difference between tracking ids issued by user A and user B, based on their prefix.
Numbering Replies per Subject on Outlook
To enable the reply subject counter, from the Reply Options menu section, enable the option "Auto-number replies per subject". Once this option is enabled, Bells & Whistles will add a reply number on the email subject, making it easier to track the history of an email exchange.

When this option is enabled, the subject of an email reply will be automatically formatted like this: "RE: [X] Subject text", where [X] is the reply number per unique subject.
When both of these options are enabled, the subject of an email reply will be automatically formatted like this: "RE: [#100006] [X] Subject text", where [#100006] is the unique tracking ID of each message thread, while [X] is the reply number per unique subject.
