Think of an <span id=\"urn:enhancement-f582a4ac\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span> alias as a nickname to your primary <span id=\"urn:enhancement-76d26e7b\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span> address, that you could use interchangeably, depending on the circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if your main <span id=\"urn:enhancement-dce6b0f7\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span> address is catherine.jones@companyname.com, you may go for alias <span id=\"urn:enhancement-bd534080\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">emails<\/span>, such as kate.jones@companyname.com, cathy.jones@companyname.com or even kate@companyname.com.<\/p>\n<p>You could use each one for a different correspondence and recipient type. For instance, catherine.jones@companyname.com would be a good choice for formal situations or if you reach out to someone from a rather conservative industry, while the other ones have a more informal and casual undertone.<\/p>\n<p>Having an <span id=\"urn:enhancement-ad0da862\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span> alias may be especially useful when your name is difficult to spell. How many times you didn\u2019t get an <span id=\"urn:enhancement-566db769\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span> just because somebody typed caroll@companyname.com instead of carol@companyname.com?

When you send out your cold <span id=\"urn:enhancement-c6223120\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span> campaign, the prospects will see the <span id=\"urn:enhancement-96fb48f4\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">emails<\/span> coming from the alias address, but you will receive the responses to your main <span id=\"urn:enhancement-248a39f8\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">inbox<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s look at an example. Till now you had quite a generic <span id=\"urn:enhancement-a9d97fd\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span> address like contact@yourcompanyname.com, which you used to contact your prospects. However, in order to be perceived as a real person who wants to get into a human-to-human relation, you would like to switch to a more personalized one, like john@yourcompanyname.com. Your prospects will see the sender as john@yourcompanyname.com, but the replies will get to your main <span id=\"urn:enhancement-5320559\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">inbox<\/span> &#8211; in this case, contact@yourcompanyname.com.<\/p>\n<h2>How to configure aliases in G Suite?<\/h2>\n<p>Sign in your Google admin console and chose a user for whom you want to set up a new alias <span id=\"urn:enhancement-31b25995\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span> and follow <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/a\/answer\/33327?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">these steps<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Mind you that adding an <span id=\"urn:enhancement-1458fc45\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span> alias allows you only to receive the <span id=\"urn:enhancement-6c19cc97\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">emails<\/span> at that address. To be able to send the <span id=\"urn:enhancement-8ed7b04d\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">emails<\/span> from your alias <span id=\"urn:enhancement-5516f7b4\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span> you have to add it in the <span id=\"urn:enhancement-af66d14d\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-creative-work\">Gmail<\/span> settings as <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/mail\/answer\/22370\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">described in Gmail guidelines<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to verify the alias <span id=\"urn:enhancement-984021ab\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span> address after setting it up by clicking the link in the confirmation message automatically sent to you from <span id=\"urn:enhancement-661d571b\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-creative-work\">Gmail<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re almost done. All you have to do to send your first message from an alias <span id=\"urn:enhancement-6e99175a\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span> is to click the \u2018From\u2019 line and choose your alternative <span id=\"urn:enhancement-b90da7d1\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email address<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to make it a permanent change and always send your messages from an alternative address, you will have to set up a <span id=\"urn:enhancement-766ce698\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-creative-work\">Gmail<\/span> feature called \u2018Send mail as\u2019. Look for it in the \u2018Settings\u2019 section of your <span id=\"urn:enhancement-575f02ca\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-creative-work\">Gmail<\/span> account under the \u2018Accounts tab\u2019. Choose the alias you want to use for sending the messages from now on and click on \u2018Make default\u2019. Congrats &#8211; you\u2019re all set now.<\/p>\n<p>Note: If you are a G Suite account admin, you may create up to 30 aliases.<\/p>\n<h2>How to add an email alias to your cold email sending tool?<\/h2>\n<p>Having done all the above steps, you\u2019re already halfway through the process. The last part is to add the alias <span id=\"urn:enhancement-c0ef1421\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span> in your cold <span id=\"urn:enhancement-de9aef18\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span> sending tool settings. In <span id=\"urn:enhancement-6cc51c72\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-organization\">Woodpecker<\/span>, you can do it in 3 easy steps, following these <a href=\"https:\/\/help.woodpecker.co\/article\/30-setting-an-alias\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">guidelines<\/a>. Remember, that you need to have your main address added first.<br \/>\nDone? Congrats, you are now able to send your campaigns using your new alias <span id=\"urn:enhancement-c2fe7acc\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span>.<\/p>\n<h2>How to add an alias if you use an external SMTP service?<\/h2>\n<p>If you use one of the external SMTP service providers, for example SendGrid or Mailgun, there\u2019s one more step you need to take in order to send the <span id=\"urn:enhancement-5380702\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">emails<\/span> from an alias <span id=\"urn:enhancement-f445481f\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you want to use <span id=\"urn:enhancement-dfec51e8\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-creative-work\">Gmail<\/span> as an <span id=\"urn:enhancement-6724051d\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span> client for contact@yourcompanyname.com. You use an external SMTP for Yourcompanyname.com provided by SendGrid. In order to be able to send <span id=\"urn:enhancement-fccf119c\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">emails<\/span> from that account via <span id=\"urn:enhancement-6665a1e5\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-creative-work\">Gmail<\/span> you have to enter the SMTP server address while the initial set-up.<\/p>\n<p>If you decide you want to send your <span id=\"urn:enhancement-e12b7142\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">emails<\/span> from an alias <span id=\"urn:enhancement-88738bf8\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span> like john@yourcomanyname.com, all you have to do is add the alias following the steps above.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not familiar with neither SendGrid nor Mailgun, read this blog post first:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/woodpecker.co\/blog\/news\/mailgun-sendgrid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Connect External SMTP from Mailgun or SendGrid to Woodpecker &gt;&gt;<\/a><br \/>\n\n<aside class=\"cta-block cta-block--a-version js-cta-block ab-no-10-cta-block ab-no-11-cta-block\">\n  <p class=\"cta-block__heading u-heading-preset-md-600\">Do outbound better with Woodpecker<\/p>\n  <div class=\"cta-block__form-container\">\n    <form class=\"js-cta-block-form\" action=\"https:\/\/woodpecker.co\/signup\/\" class=\"cta-block__button-only-form js-cta-block-no-input-form\">\n      \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<button class=\"c-button js-button c-button--color-main c-button--size-small u-focus-visible-outline\">\nStart free trial\n<\/button>    <\/form>\n    \n    <form class=\"c-input-button-form js-cta-block-form cta-block__form\" action=\"https:\/\/woodpecker.co\/signup\/\" method=\"POST\" novalidate>\n        \n  <div class=\"c-form-field js-form-field  c-input-button-form__form-field\">\n    \n    <label class=\"c-label c-form-field__label\" for=\"cta-block-form-email-120780953\">Work email<\/label>\n\n                    \n  <input class=\"c-input  js-input c-input-button-form__input\" placeholder=\"will@woodpecker.co\" name=\"email\" id=\"cta-block-form-email-120780953\" type=\"email\" \/>\n            \n    <span class=\"c-form-field__error js-error\">\n                                      Invalid email format\n        \n\n                <\/span>\n  <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"c-input-button-form__button\">\n          \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<button class=\"cta-block__button c-button js-button c-button--color-main c-button--size-small u-focus-visible-outline\">\n                Start free trial\n        \n\n<\/button>        <\/div>\n\n            <\/form>\n  <\/div>\n<\/aside><\/p>\n<h2>Use filters in Gmail<\/h2>\n<p><span id=\"urn:enhancement-2b7aa378\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-creative-work\">Gmail<\/span> allows filtering the messages that come to your <span id=\"urn:enhancement-5ce97edd\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">inbox<\/span> according to specific criteria. This way you can keep your <span id=\"urn:enhancement-53755e39\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">inbox<\/span> organized.<\/p>\n<h4>Add a filter that forwards your emails to another email account<\/h4>\n<p>You may know the forwarding filter from your day-to-day life. Perhaps you use it to forward all the invoices that you receive to your payments team leader. It can help you keep your <span id=\"urn:enhancement-e189bb3\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">inbox<\/span> clean, and thus, make the most important <span id=\"urn:enhancement-49dec015\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">emails<\/span> pop. You don\u2019t lose time and distract yourself from your current tasks by forwarding the incoming <span id=\"urn:enhancement-1956de4\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">emails<\/span> manually.<\/p>\n<p>The forwarding filter can be incredibly helpful to manage your cold <span id=\"urn:enhancement-829564a0\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">emails<\/span> too. Let me show you how you can use it to boost your productivity and save a lot of time.<\/p>\n<h4>Forward the replies to your cold emails while you\u2019re out-of-office<\/h4>\n<p>Let\u2019s use an example to illustrate how this filter works for cold <span id=\"urn:enhancement-85331344\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span> outreach. Frank sent out a cold <span id=\"urn:enhancement-8dd6ca62\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span> campaign in <span id=\"urn:enhancement-3915ee80\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-organization\">Woodpecker<\/span>, but it turned out that due to some unforeseen circumstances, he won\u2019t be able to manage the replies from prospects for some time, hence, he needs to delegate that task to his teammate Sarah. He may set up a filter that will automatically forward all the responses he receives to Sarah, who will carry on the conversation with the prospects.<\/p>\n<p>Mind you, while creating the auto-forward filter, you may decide to either forward all the messages you receive or just certain ones. Choose the criteria and create a filter according to your needs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/mail\/answer\/10957?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Here you&#8217;ll find more information on how to set up automatic forwarding in Gmail in both cases &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For a better explanation, let\u2019s go back to our example. Frank customized the filter to forward the incoming <span id=\"urn:enhancement-cc9c2d74\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">emails<\/span> with a particular subject line as he decided to forward only the replies from prospects to whom he had sent his latest campaign.<\/p>\n<p>After Frank had added an auto-forward filter, Sarah, the owner of the forwarding address received a verification <span id=\"urn:enhancement-a4b6a17c\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span> from <span id=\"urn:enhancement-5ea2db3b\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-creative-work\">Gmail<\/span> to confirm that Frank is allowed to forward his <span id=\"urn:enhancement-259c15d0\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">emails<\/span> to her <span id=\"urn:enhancement-b76df914\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">inbox<\/span>. Similarly, If you and your teammate agree to use an auto-forward filter, make sure they don\u2019t forget to click the confirmation link.<\/p>\n<h4>Use the forwarding filter to manage all your cold emails in the main mailbox<\/h4>\n<p>In order to keep your domain safe while doing cold email outreach at scale, you need to set up a separate inbox dedicated solely to outbound. Does it mean you have to go back and forth between two mailboxes now? Not really. All you need to do is set up a forwarding filter.<\/p>\n<p>Have a look at the following example. Tim is the owner of a SaaS company, which uses cold emailing to reach out to people who would be interested in their solution. The company\u2019s main domain is called timsapp.com. Tim also owns a separate domain called gettimsapp.com, which is dedicated solely to cold email outreach.<\/p>\n<p>He uses G Suite to manage the email accounts on both domains. In such a case there are two Gmail features that are essential for him. One is the forwarding filter and the other one is the \u2018Send mail as\u2019 option.<\/p>\n<p>Tim set up the forwarding filter to have all the cold email responses directed to his main email account on timsapp.com domain. He doesn\u2019t have to jump back and forth between the inboxes and can act almost immediately once he gets a new reply.<\/p>\n<p>In order to reply to all the emails from one inbox, he added the address dedicated to cold email outreach as an alternative email address. The set-up process looks the same as in the case of an alias email.<\/p>\n<h4>Filter out the negative replies<\/h4>\n<p>You can create a filter that will sort out the emails based on specific words in the body of the message. For example, any email that contains the words \u201cunsubscribe\u201d, \u201copt out\u201d, \u201cdon\u2019t send\u201d or \u201cnot interested\u201d will be sieved out from the main inbox and moved to a separate folder you create. This is one way to identify prospects that don\u2019t want to receive further emails from you.<\/p>\n<p>You may also create a filter that automatically archives the negative replies. However, once you set it up in your Gmail account, you won\u2019t see such emails in Woodpecker. To manage all the emails in Woodpecker, check whether your filters include words, like \u201cSkip inbox\u201d or \u201cDelete it\u201d and remove them from your filter list.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to custom filters you can spend less time on segregating the replies and focus on building fruitful business relationships with interested prospects.<\/p>\n<h2>Set up an automatic \u201cout of office\u201d reply<\/h2>\n<p>Do you need to take an unexpected day off? Set up an autoresponder to notify everybody who emails you during that time about your absence.<\/p>\n<p>In order to set up an autoresponder go to your Gmail \u2018Settings\u2019 and turn on the &#8220;Vacation responder&#8221;. Choose a date range and come up with your out of office message, in which you apologize for any inconvenience and give an approximate date of your return to the office.<\/p>\n<p>This should be enough in the case of regular business correspondence, but what if you have an active cold email campaign?<\/p>\n<h4>Is there a way to put your cold email campaign on hold while you\u2019re away?<\/h4>\n<p>There are two things you can do. If you work in a team, you may combine the autoresponder feature with an auto-forward filter. All the prospects who reply to your emails will get a notification of your absence and those who are interested will be contacted by one of your teammates.<\/p>\n<p>If you work alone or your team has limited capacity, you can freeze all your active campaigns in Woodpecker for a chosen period of time. You\u2019ll find a step-by-step guide on how to use the \u2018freeze email account\u2019 option <a href=\"https:\/\/help.woodpecker.co\/article\/67-how-to-freeze-your-campaigns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>. If some emails were already sent, don\u2019t forget to set up the autoresponder in case of any incoming replies.<\/p>\n<h2>Add your Gmail account photo<\/h2>\n<p>Being a Gmail user, you probably noticed that Gmail displays users\u2019 photos next to the sender\u2019s name in an email view. Professional-looking profile picture adds credibility and trust in the eyes of your cold email recipients, to whom you are most likely a complete stranger. Having that in mind, it\u2019s definitely worth to have it set up.<\/p>\n<p>To add a Gmail account picture, go to \u2018Settings\u2019 and click \u2018Change picture\u2019 in \u2018My picture\u2019 section. By default, your picture should be visible to everyone you email.<\/p>\n<p>Adding a Gmail account photo is one of the brand audit steps you can do before sending your first cold email campaign.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/woodpecker.co\/blog\/cold-email\/brand-audit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">If you\u2019re curious what else to take care of and improve, read this blog post &gt;&gt;<\/a><br \/>\n\n<aside class=\"cta-block cta-block--a-version js-cta-block ab-no-10-cta-block ab-no-11-cta-block\">\n  <p class=\"cta-block__heading u-heading-preset-md-600\">Boost any cold emailing strategy<\/p>\n  <div class=\"cta-block__form-container\">\n    <form class=\"js-cta-block-form\" action=\"https:\/\/woodpecker.co\/signup\/\" class=\"cta-block__button-only-form js-cta-block-no-input-form\">\n      \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<button class=\"c-button js-button c-button--color-main c-button--size-small u-focus-visible-outline\">\nStart free trial\n<\/button>    <\/form>\n    \n    <form class=\"c-input-button-form js-cta-block-form cta-block__form\" action=\"https:\/\/woodpecker.co\/signup\/\" method=\"POST\" novalidate>\n        \n  <div class=\"c-form-field js-form-field  c-input-button-form__form-field\">\n    \n    <label class=\"c-label c-form-field__label\" for=\"cta-block-form-email-1643123525\">Work email<\/label>\n\n                    \n  <input class=\"c-input  js-input c-input-button-form__input\" placeholder=\"will@woodpecker.co\" name=\"email\" id=\"cta-block-form-email-1643123525\" type=\"email\" \/>\n            \n    <span class=\"c-form-field__error js-error\">\n                                      Invalid email format\n        \n\n                <\/span>\n  <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"c-input-button-form__button\">\n          \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<button class=\"cta-block__button c-button js-button c-button--color-main c-button--size-small u-focus-visible-outline\">\n                Start free trial\n        \n\n<\/button>        <\/div>\n\n            <\/form>\n  <\/div>\n<\/aside><\/p>\n<h2>What else Gmail has to offer?<\/h2>\n<p>There are a few more Gmail features that can optimize both your regular work and cold outreach strategy:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>effective spam filters powered by AI;<\/li>\n<li>well-organized mailbox thanks to automatically sorting the newsletters and messages from social media into the appropriate tabs<\/li>\n<li>measuring user engagement in order to improve your user experience, for example by moving the newsletters you regularly read from the Promotions tab to your main inbox;<\/li>\n<li>Gmail Smart Compose based on machine learning guesses what you are about to write and autocompletes your message;<\/li>\n<li>the option to snooze an email, so it will disappear from your inbox and show up again after a few days;<\/li>\n<li>smart user interface solutions, like a useful right-click menu to facilitate email management;<\/li>\n<li>it\u2019s easy to set up and integrate with other tools.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gmail has more than 1.5 billion users.
