How to prevent forwarding MailReach emails to your clients' or sales' inboxes [Gmail / Google Workspace]
Summary
- Use case 1: This guide helps cold outreach agencies avoid cluttering their clients' inboxes with warm up emails.
- Use case 2: This guide helps also if you send campaigns for your sales team from secondary mailboxes and you want to avoid cluttering their official inboxes.
- It's adapted if you use Gmail / Google Workspace.
- It should take you 3 minutes.
Step 1 : copy your warm up content code in the settings of your email account in MailReach
- In your MailReach account, select your email account and go in its settings
- Find "Your warm up content code" and copy the code
Step 2 : if not done already, set up your client's or sales rep's email address as a Forwarding address in the Gmail account
- Go in the Gmail account, then settings, then 'Forwarding and POP/IMAP'
- Click on 'Add a forwarding address' : put here your client / sales rep email address so the emails received in this mailbox will be redirected to your client's / sales rep.
- Follow the steps with your client and make sure the forwarding address has been set up and confirmed.
Step 3 : set up the Gmail filter that redirects the emails to your client / sales rep without the warm up emails.
- In the Gmail settings, go to 'Filters and Blocked Addresses'
- Click on 'Create a new filter'
- In the 'Doesn't have' field, paste your warm up content code
- Click on 'Create filter'
- Check 'Forward it to' and select the address of your client / sales rep.
- Create filter. You're done.
Congrats 🎉 you've set up a filter in Gmail that says "Redirect all emails to my client / sales rep except the ones that contains the code XYZ".
