• Use existing templates.

Warning

Don't use this service to send marketing emails or spam. It can result in your email being sent to spam or locked.

Note

Stop using gmail or yahoo mail for cold outreach , both Google and yahoo actively prevents automation. Use your own domain or hotmail/outlook

This tool makes use if Jinja2 to render the emails, so any valid Jinja syntax is acceptable
