sendhey can tell you whether a shared report was opened, how many times, and — if you use an email gate — who opened it, without a cookie banner or a hidden tracking pixel. You choose the level of tracking per link, from nothing at all to identified opens, and the choice is visible in the product, not buried in a settings page nobody reads.
Identity and access are the same mechanism, deliberately: sendhey only ever knows a viewer's email if your gate already asked for one. An open link with aggregate analytics gives you a real, honest count — three views, not zero — but no name to attach to any of them, because nobody was ever asked to identify themselves to get in. If you need names, gate the link with email (verified or not) and switch analytics to identified; if you only need volume, aggregate on an open link is enough and shows no banner to the recipient.
Pick the analytics mode from the publish form's "what you need back" step in the dashboard, or pass {"analytics":{"mode":"aggregate"}} (or "identified", requiring an email/domain/allowlist gate) inside policy to publish_page or create_link over MCP. Check what came in from the dashboard's activity view, or ask a connected agent to call get_activity for the rollup.
Yes — change a link's analytics mode from its settings at any time. The change applies to views from that point on; it doesn't retroactively re-tag activity already recorded under the old mode.
No — aggregate strips identity before it's ever stored, so there's nothing to ask consent for. Only behavioral mode's deeper insights trigger the Accept all / Customize prompt, and declining it never blocks the content.
Identified mode only ever knows what the gate collected — an email address, not a name, role, or company unless the recipient volunteers it. Behavioral mode's deeper insights depend on the recipient accepting the consent prompt; a decline still lets them read the content, it just means less detail for you. Aggregate mode by design cannot answer "who" — that is the honest tradeoff for showing no consent banner. For the access gates themselves, see password-protecting a Claude artifact or ChatGPT report; for the pillar overview see sharing AI-generated work with clients.
