See when your proposal link is clicked, and whether it was a person
Straight answer first. Outsolvi tracks the CLICK on a document link inside an email you sent. It does not host your file, it does not give you a standalone shareable tracked link, and it does not report time-on-page, scroll depth or which slide someone lingered on. If per-page reading analytics is the deciding feature, a dedicated document-tracking tool is the honest recommendation.
What you do get is the part most tools get wrong. When your proposal link is clicked, Outsolvi grades that click the same way it grades an open, so a link scanner that clicks every URL in the email does not show up as your buyer reading the deck.
Who this is for
Document tracking tells you whether a prospect opened the proposal you sent. The question is whether a tool gives you per-page reading analytics or just link clicks.
What it does
Records every click on a link in a tracked email, including links to a proposal, deck or PDF you host elsewhere. Each click carries the destination URL, the timestamp, the device and browser, the city, and the grade that decided whether it was a person. Clicks that aren't graded as a person are recorded for the audit trail and never counted.
Why it matters in 2026
A click on a pricing page or a proposal is the highest-intent signal an email produces, and it is exactly the signal link scanners corrupt by clicking every URL automatically.
Knowing which link was clicked, and when, is usually enough to decide the follow-up. Knowing that a security appliance clicked it is enough to decide not to.
Everything lands on one contact timeline next to the opens, so the document click sits in context rather than in a separate tool.
Open grading is not a setting you configure.

How it works
Links in a tracked email are rewritten so the click passes through Outsolvi before continuing to the real destination. The redirect is immediate and the recipient sees the page they expected. Outsolvi records the destination, the time, the device, the browser, the location and the source IP, then grades the event. Clicks from link scanners and security gateways are labelled as automated, shown with the reason, and not counted. A click from a person in a normal browser counts.
Dedicated document platforms do far more than this: page-by-page analytics, time per slide, hosted links with expiry. Email trackers at this price point generally do link clicks only, as Outsolvi does. The difference is that most of them count a scanner click as your buyer reading it.
Use cases for Document Links
Frequently asked questions
Can I upload a PDF to Outsolvi and get a tracked link?+
No. Outsolvi does not host documents and there is no standalone tracked document link. It tracks clicks on links inside the emails you send.
Do I get time-on-page or which slide they read?+
No. There is no page-by-page reading analytics. You get the click, the time, the device, the location and whether it was a person.
Will a link scanner make it look like my proposal was read?+
That is the failure this is built to avoid. Clicks from link scanners and security gateways, such as Microsoft Defender, are labelled as automated, with the reason shown, and never counted. A click Outsolvi can't confirm came from a person is shown as possibly human and isn't counted either.

Other Outsolvi features
Nate built Outsolvi after watching every email-tracking tool he had ever used lie to him about opens. Outsolvi grades every open as a person or a machine, in Outlook and Gmail, so the number on the dashboard is one a rep can actually act on.
