1The Email Outreach Challenge
Email remains one of the most effective channels for business communication, but many professionals face significant challenges when trying to scale their outreach:
- Time-Consuming Process: Manually sending personalized emails one by one drains valuable time and resources
- Personalization at Scale: Maintaining a personal touch while reaching hundreds or thousands of recipients is nearly impossible with traditional methods
- Limited Analytics: Most email platforms offer minimal insights into engagement metrics, making it difficult to optimize campaigns
- Technical Complexity: Existing solutions often require technical expertise or complex integrations

Frequently Asked Questions About ShiftSend
Is ShiftSend compatible with Gmail only, or does it work with other email providers?
Currently, ShiftSend is optimized specifically for Gmail and G Suite (Google Workspace) accounts. We chose to focus on Gmail because it's the most widely used business email platform and allows us to provide the best possible integration. Support for Outlook and other email providers is on our roadmap for future releases. If you're interested in using ShiftSend with a different email provider, let us know so we can prioritize development accordingly.
How does ShiftSend ensure my emails don't end up in spam folders?
Great question! ShiftSend uses several best practices to maintain high deliverability: 1) We send emails directly from your Gmail account (not from a third-party server), which maintains your sender reputation. 2) We implement proper email authentication (SPF, DKIM). 3) We space out sends to mimic natural human behavior. 4) We track bounce rates and automatically pause campaigns if issues arise. 5) We provide guidance on writing effective subject lines and content that passes spam filters. That said, deliverability also depends on the quality of your email list and content—we recommend always emailing people who've expressed interest in hearing from you.
Can I personalize each email beyond just using the recipient's name?
Absolutely! ShiftSend supports unlimited custom variables. You can personalize emails with any field from your recipient list—company name, job title, industry, location, recent interaction, specific interests, or any custom data you provide. For example, you could write: "Hi [firstName], I noticed [company] recently [recentActivity] and thought you might be interested in..." This level of personalization significantly improves response rates because each email feels truly tailored to the recipient.
What happens if someone replies to my automated email?
Replies are handled just like regular emails—they appear in your Gmail inbox, and you can respond normally. The smart part is that ShiftSend automatically detects replies and stops any scheduled follow-up emails for that recipient. This prevents the awkward situation of sending a follow-up to someone who's already responded. You'll also get instant notifications of replies so you can respond quickly while the conversation is fresh.
How many emails can I send per day without getting flagged by Gmail?
Gmail has sending limits: regular Gmail accounts can send about 500 emails per day, while G Suite accounts can send up to 2,000 per day. ShiftSend automatically respects these limits and spaces out your emails throughout the day to stay well under the threshold. We also provide real-time tracking of your daily send count. For higher volumes, we recommend using multiple Gmail accounts or upgrading to G Suite. It's important to ramp up gradually—don't go from 0 to 500 emails overnight, as that can trigger spam filters.
Does ShiftSend store my Gmail password or have access to my account?
No! ShiftSend uses OAuth 2.0 authentication, which is the same secure method used by trusted apps throughout the Google ecosystem. This means: 1) We never see or store your Gmail password. 2) You grant specific permissions through Google's official authorization screen. 3) You can revoke ShiftSend's access anytime from your Google Account settings. 4) We only request the minimum permissions needed to send emails and track responses. Your security and privacy are our top priorities, and we're fully compliant with Google's security requirements.
Can ShiftSend help me build my email list, or do I need to provide my own contacts?
ShiftSend is designed for sending emails to contacts you already have or have collected through legitimate means. We don't provide email lists, and we strongly discourage purchasing email lists (they typically have poor quality and high spam complaint rates). However, we do integrate with popular CRM systems and allow CSV imports, making it easy to use your existing contacts. For building your list, we recommend using lead magnets, website signup forms, networking events, and social media engagement—all methods that result in higher-quality, more engaged subscribers.
How is ShiftSend different from traditional email marketing platforms like Mailchimp?
Great question! Traditional email marketing platforms are designed for sending newsletters to large lists with the same message for everyone. ShiftSend is built for personalized, one-to-one outreach at scale—perfect for sales prospecting, recruiting, or relationship building. Key differences: 1) Emails come from your personal Gmail (not "no-reply@company.com"), 2) Each email is individually customized, 3) Follows up automatically based on recipient actions, 4) Better for starting conversations rather than broadcasting announcements, 5) Higher open and response rates due to the personal touch. If you need both newsletter sends AND personalized outreach, you might use both tools for different purposes.
