The problem it solves

Sending follow-ups to no-shows, cold leads, or old contacts one by one is tedious, and it's easy to lose track of who you already emailed. You don't want to pay for a full email marketing platform just to send a simple list of personalized messages.

Who it fits

Marketers or sales teams sending follow-ups, reminders, or outreach from a contact list.

How it works

  1. The system checks your Google Sheet on a schedule
  2. It filters contacts by status, like No-Show or Cold
  3. It skips anyone who has already been emailed
  4. It sends a personalized email through your SMTP provider, one at a time with a delay between sends
  5. It updates the sheet to mark each contact as emailed
What you get

Leads who hear back from you instead of going cold

You get personalized follow-up emails sent automatically to the right contacts on your list, with duplicates skipped and every send tracked.

What you get

A batch of personalized emails sent to the right contacts and an updated spreadsheet showing who was reached.

What you need

A Google Sheets account and an SMTP email account with any professional email provider.

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.
