  2. Send or schedule

    Click Send now, or pick a date and time under Send at and click Schedule. A scheduled email goes out within a few minutes of that time. Clear compose empties the form.

  3. Check the history

    Email history lists every email under Outbound emails. Filter by Scheduled, Sent, Opened, Delivered, Bounced, Failed or Cancelled. Each email shows its status and when it was opened.

  4. Follow up

    Cancel stops a scheduled email, and Cancel all scheduled stops all of them. Nudge sends the lead a short follow-up to that email straight away, and Retry sends a failed one again.
