Woodpecker: better than Yesware, better for your cold emailing

While Yesware only offers features for Outlook and Gmail channels, Woodpecker was built specifically to work with cold emails. This focus has helped us build features that optimize your cold outreach efforts and achieve what Yesware simply can’t.

Woodpecker optimizes your reply rates by sending follow-ups in the same thread. Manual tasks (“text John”, “call Ben”, etc.) in between campaigns can keep your entire outreach more organized.

It’s all about deliverability

Woodpecker automatically maximizes your deliverability from day one, and that means getting your message to recipient inboxes. Our built-in email verification system prevents unnecessary bounces, so you don’t have to worry about your domain’s sender reputation.

And when your reputation remains high, your messages land inboxes while your competitors get directed to “Spam” and “Promotions” folders. 

Warm-up & Recovery

Email warm-up is different from domain warm-up. Woodpecker can handle both processes for you, as well as help you to recover your sender reputation.

Yesware doesn’t offer a warm-up & recovery feature. Yesware gets you nowhere on this important factor in cold emailing!

*Unfortunately, from February 2023, Google no longer supports automated warm-up for Gmail accounts. However, you can still achieve the same results manually by following these simple steps.

Deliverability Monitor

Track your deliverability with Woodpecker and spot any issues before they happen so you can prevent them. No other cold email tool on the market allows you to do so.

No. Other. Cold email tool. On the market. 

Bounce Shield

With Woodpecker your deliverability is protected 24/7. Bounce Shield adjusts your sending frequency so you can be sure you won’t get blocked by your email provider for exceeding the sending limits.

Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing that we are always looking for ways to protect your sender reputation by respecting the limits of email service providers.

Test & optimize

Woodpecker allows you to automate follow-ups and adjust them to your recipients’ behavior.

Our A/B testing feature and automatically-generated performance reports allow you to optimize your campaigns and be sure that you’re always sending the best possible version of your message.

If-campaigns

You can adjust follow-ups to your prospect’s behavior by setting up ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ paths. Based on whether they opened your email, replied to it or clicked on a specific link, they will get a specific, personalized message sequence.

This is the kind of natural conversational flow that turns prospects into leads. 

 

A/B tests

The built-in A/B testing feature allows you to test up to 5 different versions of your messages (both openers and follow-ups). You can experiment with your emails until you reach the best-performing copy and subject line.

Integrations
