Domains bought in our app are registered to you, and the mailboxes sync to Smartlead, Instantly or 12 more tools by CSV.

What customers say
“That was the best infrastructure and value for money I saw.”
Ido RebhunRenaissance

“We really would like to thank you for that report. We don’t know what we are doing with email and it is very reassuring to us to know we have a partner on top of the ball.”

Keep Smartlead, or move off it
- Create mailboxes in Outreach2day on new domains, or on domains you already own
- Warmup starts on its own; give it 14 days
- Keep Smartlead as your sender: connect it with an API key and the mailboxes appear there
- Or send from our own sequencer: rebuild the sequences and import your leads
- Keep SmartSenders sending until the new mailboxes reach full volume on day 21; they can't leave Smartlead
