Cold email & sequences

Cold email that lands — in their language.

Write a sequence once, send each contact the version in their language, test subject lines against each other, and keep your mailboxes out of spam while you scale.

  • Email, LinkedIn, call and task steps
  • A/B variants with the winner marked
  • Warm-up between your own mailboxes

Write

One sequence, a version per language

Every email step can hold A/B variants and a translation per language. Write it yourself or let AI draft and translate it with your Brand Knowledge; each contact gets the version that matches their language.

  • Follow-ups in the same email thread
  • Send windows per sequence
  • A contact's steps stop once their reply is logged

Target

The right people, not a bigger list

Filter people and companies by title, seniority, department, size, location, technologies, email status and language. Exclude domains, find lookalikes of your best customers and enrich missing emails before you send.

  • Lists and saved searches with new-match alerts
  • CSV enrichment with verified emails
  • Recommendations for who to contact next

Deliver

Warm mailboxes, clean DNS, safe volume

Connect your sending mailboxes and let them warm up by emailing each other on a gradual ramp. Optimizly checks where warm-up mail lands, moves it out of spam, replies to part of it, and recommends a safe daily limit while you warm up.

  • SPF, DKIM and DMARC checks with fix-it help
  • Health score per mailbox
  • Inbox placement tracked over time

Measure

See which step and which variant works

Opens, clicks, replies and bounces per step, per variant and per language — with a statistical test that marks the winning variant once there is enough data.

How it works

From a list of companies to booked meetings.

  1. Connect your mailboxes

    Add at least two mailboxes and switch on warm-up. Fix any DNS issues it flags.

  2. Build your audience

    Find people with filters, import a CSV or use your website visitors, then enrich emails.

  3. Write the sequence

    Steps, A/B variants and languages — written by you or drafted with AI.

  4. Follow up

    A logged reply stops the steps for that contact; calls, meetings and deals take it from there.

FAQ

Questions about sequences and deliverability

Where do the leads come from?

From your own imports, your enrichment runs and our website scraper, which finds people and contact details on company websites. Optimizly does not sell access to a third-party contact database.

How does warm-up work?

Mailboxes in your workspace send each other natural-looking emails on a gradual ramp. With IMAP access we check whether those emails landed in the inbox or spam, move them out of spam, mark them read and reply to a share of them. You need at least two mailboxes.

Do warm-up emails count toward my sending limits?

No. Warm-up runs separately from your sequences and campaigns, and Optimizly recommends a lower sequence volume while a mailbox is still warming up.

Can I write in Dutch, German and French?

Yes. Each email step can have a version per language. AI can translate your base version; translations are marked until you review them.

How is the A/B winner decided?

With a two-proportion test on reply rates (open rates until the first replies come in). A variant is only marked as the winner once the difference is statistically meaningful, never on a handful of sends.
