Feature
Did the customer actually open it?
Per-invoice view tracking that answers the question you actually have. City, device, timestamp. Your own previews count separately so the number means something.
The thing email opens never told you
Email open tracking is broken. Apple Mail Privacy Protection pre-fetches every image in your inbox, so every email looks "opened." Corporate spam filters do the same. You can't tell whether your customer actually looked at your invoice from email opens alone.
JupiterInvoice tracks views on the share-link page itself. Each open of /i/<token> by your customer logs an entry. Image pre-fetchers don't trigger it because the page renders interactive HTML, not a tracking pixel.
What you see on every invoice
"Last viewed 3h ago from Boston"
The headline answers the recency question first. If the customer just looked at it, you know. If they haven't opened it in two weeks, you know that too.
City, region, country
Powered by Cloudflare Enterprise geo headers. No third-party tracking dep, no pixel, no cookie. Geo accuracy is approximate (IP geolocation always is) but enough to confirm "yes, that's them."
Browser and OS
"Chrome on Mac" or "Safari on iOS" so you can tell desktop from mobile and recognize when AP forwarded it to a colleague on a different device.
Total views, unique visitors
Counts unique viewers by IP plus browser fingerprint, so a customer refreshing 50 times shows as one visitor and a forwarded-to-AP scenario shows as two.
Sender previews counted separately
When you preview your own invoice link while logged in, those views go in a separate bucket: "You've previewed this 12 times." They don't pollute the recipient-engagement count or trigger the customer-viewed Slack ping.
Full view history on demand
Click "Full view history" to see every view: when, what device, where, and the IP address. Useful when the customer claims they never received it.
On the invoice list, at a glance
Every row in your invoice list shows a small "Viewed Xh ago" pill next to the status badge whenever a real customer opened the link recently. Scanning the list tells you which invoices got engagement and which are sitting unread. Hover the pill for the precise local timestamp.
When this matters
- →Following up. Before you send "just bumping this" you can see whether the customer has actually seen the invoice. If they viewed it three times yesterday, it's a different conversation than if they haven't opened it.
- →Verifying delivery. When a customer says "I never got that," the view history settles it. If their IP shows up in the log, the email landed and someone clicked the link.
- →Knowing AP forwarded it. A second unique viewer from a different IP usually means your contact passed the invoice to their AP team. That's a payment-process signal worth seeing.
- →Catching link previewers. Email security scanners and link previewers (Slack, Gmail) often hit the share link automatically. The view history makes those visible so you can mentally discount them.
How view tracking works
Do you use a tracking pixel?
Are you sending data to third parties?
How do you tell my own previews apart from real customer views?
How accurate is the city geo?
Does the recipient know they're being tracked?
What about webhook events for views?
