Everything you need to know about multi-sender campaigns, smart throttling, follow-up sequences, and template variables.
Click 'Continue with Google' on the login page. A placeholder sender is auto-created with your Gmail address.
In Compose, click '+' next to the sender dropdown. Enter your Gmail and a Google App Password (from myaccount.google.com/apppasswords). Outly verifies SMTP connectivity before saving.
Set your hourly limit (how many emails per hour) and minimum delay between emails. Outly automatically adds random spacing to make your sending pattern look natural — not robotic.
Type emails manually or import a CSV. CSV columns beyond the first become template variables (e.g., name, company) for personalization.
Write your email, optionally add follow-up steps and attachments, then send immediately or schedule for later. Monitor progress from the dashboard.
Gmail limits each account to ~500 emails/day. By rotating across 3 senders, you can send up to 1,500/day while staying within each account's limits. Outly handles the rotation automatically.
Round-robin distribution
Emails are evenly distributed across senders, respecting each sender's daily limit.
Automatic failover
If one sender hits its limit, emails are automatically reassigned to the next available sender.
Auto-resume
If all senders are exhausted, the campaign pauses and automatically resumes when capacity is available.
Outly enforces multiple layers of rate limiting to protect your sender accounts from suspension.
Free Gmail
Google Workspace
New senders start with low limits that increase daily. Skip this if your account has existing sending history.

The Variable Preview panel in the compose form shows you exactly how each recipient's email will look before you send.
Outly automatically tracks email opens (via a transparent pixel) and link clicks (via URL rewriting). View real-time metrics on the campaign detail page's Tracking tab.
Open tracking
A tiny invisible pixel is added to each email. When the recipient's email client loads it, an open is recorded.
Click tracking
Links in your email are rewritten to route through Outly's server. When clicked, the click is recorded and the recipient is redirected to the original URL.
Optional per campaign
Toggle "Track opens" and "Track clicks" in the compose form's sending settings. Both are enabled by default.
Attach files to your campaigns — resumes, portfolios, or any supporting documents.
