How to Fix Missing Adobe Send Delivery and Tracking Notifications
Question details
Users need to understand why individual delivery or download notifications are missing when sharing files through Adobe Send.
- Product
- Adobe Send & Track
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Monitoring recipient engagement, such as document previews and downloads, after sharing a file.
- Observed behavior
- The system fails to display detailed individual recipient tracking data, only showing the total aggregate counts of previews or downloads.
Verify whether the document was shared via a personalized invitation or an anonymous link, as this directly dictates the level of tracking detail recorded by the platform.
Use Personalized Invitations for Detailed Tracking
Switching from anonymous sharing links to personalized email invitations allows the system to track individual recipient actions.
When an anonymous link is used for file sharing, Adobe Send & Track cannot identify who is accessing the file. As a result, it only provides a total aggregate count of previews and downloads.
To record exactly when specific individuals preview or download your file, you must send a personalized invitation. This binds the tracking data to the exact email address you provided.
Open your document and navigate to the Adobe Send & Track interface within your application.
Instead of clicking to generate a public or anonymous link, choose the option to send a personalized invitation.
Carefully enter and verify the specific email addresses of the recipients you wish to track.
Click send. Once recipients open the file, navigate to the 'View Tracking Information' section in your documentation dashboard to monitor individual activities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I only see the total number of downloads on my shared file?
This occurs when you share a file using an anonymous link. Without specific recipient data attached to the invitation, the system can only record and display the total aggregate count of actions.
Can I retrospectively track who opened an anonymous link?
No, tracking data cannot be recovered or detailed retroactively for anonymous links. You must resend the document using a personalized invitation to track individual engagement moving forward.
Where can I check if a recipient has opened my personalized invitation?
You can monitor all individual recipient activities, including exact times for file previews and downloads, by accessing the 'View Tracking Information' section of your Send & Track dashboard.
