Send staged outreach emails to prospects from spreadsheet

Automatically monitor new spreadsheet rows across Google Sheets and Gmail. Send timed outreach emails and follow-ups when outreach rows are added, match lookups, or delay windows hitβ€”so you can deliver initial sends, schedule follow-ups, and prevent duplicate outreach without manual follow-ups.

How this automation sequences outreach follow-ups from your sheet

When new outreach details land in your sheet, delays and duplicates can reduce response rates. This automation looks up existing contacts, filters qualifying rows, and sends initial and follow-up emails on a timed cadenceβ€”so your outreach stays consistent.
