Woodpecker.co — A cold email outreach platform with deliverability-focused sending, automated follow-up sequences, and a CRM-integration API. The fastest sensible path from signup to real value:
Setup, step by step
- Step 1. Warm up any new sending domain for 2+ weeks before your first real campaign
- Step 2. Start with a small, well-targeted list — deliverability tools can't fix a bad list
- Step 3. A/B test subject lines on a small batch before committing the full list
- Step 4. Monitor bounce/spam-complaint rates weekly and pause immediately if either spikes
One mistake to avoid
Narrower in scope than a full multichannel platform like Instantly — it's specifically email, without LinkedIn/multichannel steps built in.
