Email providers (ESP sending and matching).

Choose which providers a campaign emails, and send Google leads from Google mailboxes.

“ESP” means the email provider your lead uses: Google, Microsoft, Zoho, Yahoo or Other.

How we know

When you import a list, we look up each domain’s mail servers. Then we tag each contact. “Other” means their own mail servers, iCloud, GoDaddy, or an inbox behind a security tool like Proofpoint or Mimecast.

ESP sending: choose who gets emailed

In a campaign, under Targeted ESPs, choose which providers this campaign emails. For example, only Microsoft.

  • Switching a provider off sets its leads aside right away, even in a running campaign.
  • Switching it back on picks them up again.

ESP matching: same provider, better delivery

Turn on ESP matching in the campaign’s senders step:

  • Google senders email Google leads.
  • Microsoft senders email Microsoft leads.
  • Others use any sender.

Email between the same provider often lands better. If there is no matching sender for a provider, those leads are sent from any of the campaign’s mailboxes.

Tip

Connect at least one Google and one Microsoft mailbox. Then ESP matching can work for most of your leads.
