MAILTIG

How it works

From the first mailbox to the first safe test.

MAILTIG setup is six steps: connect a mailbox you control, publish DNS, import contacts you are allowed to email, design a sequence, pass preflight, then read replies in context. It does not hide a charge or a manual task behind an automation claim.

Start setupSee the product

  1. Step 1

    Connect a sending mailbox

    Gmail and Microsoft 365 use OAuth. Any other mailbox can use SMTP, with optional IMAP so replies come back. SendGrid, Mailgun and Amazon SES are available on Business and Agency. OAuth buttons stay off until the operator configures client IDs.

    Connect Gmail and Microsoft 365 with OAuth, any SMTP mailbox (with optional IMAP for replies), and SendGrid, Mailgun or Amazon SES on plans that include high-volume senders.

  2. Step 2

    Check the sending domain

    Add the domain. MAILTIG generates the verification, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records. Publish them, then run the check. A pass means the records resolve. It does not mean mail will land in the inbox.

  3. Step 3

    Import qualified contacts

    CSV import with custom fields, or the API. Verify addresses if you want. MAILTIG does not sell or include a contact list. You bring the people you are allowed to email.

    Import contacts from CSV with custom fields, build lists and segments, verify addresses, keep a timeline of every send, open, click, reply and note, and export or erase a contact's data on request.

  4. Step 4

    Design the sequence

    Steps, waits, open/click/reply conditions, a reply branch, optional A/B, send windows and a daily cap. LinkedIn, SMS, call and WhatsApp steps become tasks for a person. Email is the only channel MAILTIG sends.

    Build sequences with wait times, open, click and reply conditions, reply branches, A/B variants with a holdout, send windows in a chosen time zone and a daily cap per campaign.

  5. Step 5

    Pass preflight, then start

    Preflight lists blockers: connected mailboxes, DKIM mode, postal address, audience, credits and schedule. A workspace can require approval before any campaign starts. After 20 sends, a 5% bounce rate pauses the campaign.

    Before a campaign starts, preflight lists blockers and warnings: connected mailboxes, DKIM mode, CAN-SPAM address, audience, credits and schedule. A workspace can require approval before any campaign starts.

  6. Step 6

    Read replies in context

    Human replies stop the sequence, land in the unified inbox, and keep the contact, campaign step and history beside the thread. Then measure what happened, with definitions attached.

    Replies from every connected mailbox arrive in one inbox, matched to the campaign and contact by message headers, with bounces and auto-replies detected and sentiment classified.

Before the first campaign

A checklist, not a promise.

You need

  • A mailbox you control, and permission to send from it
  • A sending domain you can publish DNS records on
  • Contacts you are allowed to email, with a way to unsubscribe
  • A postal address for the CAN-SPAM footer
  • Credits: 250 trial credits on a new workspace, then the plan allowance

Provider limits still apply

Google, Microsoft and every ESP keep their own sending quotas, authentication rules and acceptable-use policies. MAILTIG enforces mailbox caps and pauses on bounce spikes. It does not override a provider. Read the first-test guide.
