Skip to main contentUse OptaReach Email to connect Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, or any IMAP/SMTP inbox, then automate personalized sequences with reply detection and deliverability safeguards.
What you can do
- Connect multiple inboxes with OAuth or IMAP/SMTP credentials.
- Import leads from CSV or from other OptaReach sources (LinkedIn, GitHub, Hacker News, etc.).
- Build multi-step email sequences with waits, reply detection, and conditional branches.
- Track opens, clicks, bounces, and replies per inbox.
- Handle every conversation from Unibox alongside your social channels.
Accounts
- Connect inboxes via OAuth (Gmail/Outlook) or IMAP/SMTP; set sender name, signature, and reply-to.
- Warm up with low caps; increase gradually and rotate across multiple inboxes for volume.
- Add an account:
- Go to Settings > Accounts.
- Choose Email (Gmail/Outlook or IMAP/SMTP) and authenticate.
- Set sender name, signature, reply-to, caps; save.
Leads
- Upload CSVs with name, company, role, email, and social URLs for richer personalization.
- Cross-import leads engaged on other platforms (LinkedIn, GitHub, Reddit, etc.).
- Use OptaReach lead finder filters when you need fresh contacts.
Campaigns & sequences
- Create an Email campaign and choose sending inbox(es).
- Select the lead list to enroll (CSV import or cross-imported contacts).
- Suggested flow:
- Email 1: short intro, single CTA.
- Wait 2-4 days.
- Email 2: value add (resource, code, invite to chat).
- Wait 3-5 days.
- Email 3: polite bump, then stop.
- Turn on reply detection so follow-ups halt when someone responds.
- Personalize with templates and snippets (no GPT on email): keep openings short, reference role/company, and avoid heavy links on the first touch.
Deliverability and compliance
- Respect send windows and daily caps; avoid sudden volume spikes.
- Honor opt-outs and hard bounces immediately.
- Prefer one clear CTA; limit tracking pixels/links if compliance requires.
Manage replies
- Replies land in Unibox with campaign context.
- Tag/assign conversations and use saved snippets for speed.
- If a lead replies elsewhere, mark them done to suppress further email steps.
