Send scheduled cold email sequences straight from a spreadsheet

The system sends your multi-step cold email sequence to leads on a schedule and tracks who's been emailed.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per one per lead in spreadsheet.

The problem it solves

You've built a list of prospects and written a great outreach sequence, but manually sending and tracking every email is a part-time job on its own. It's easy to lose track of who's received which message, or forget to follow up on time. Cold outreach only works if it's consistent, and consistency is hard to keep up by hand.

Who it fits

A sales team, business developer, or recruiter running multi-stage cold outreach at scale.

How it works

  1. On a set schedule, the system checks your spreadsheet for leads who haven't received the next email
  2. It verifies each email address is valid before sending
  3. Personalized emails are sent to each qualifying lead
  4. The spreadsheet is updated to mark who's been emailed
What you get

Outreach sequences that keep moving without you

Your multi-step cold email sequence goes out to every lead on schedule, with each step tracked so nobody gets missed or double-emailed.

What you get

A steadily-progressing cold email campaign, with send status tracked in your spreadsheet.

What you need

A Gmail or SMTP-connected email account and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
