If No Reply — Simple email automation that works for Gmail

What is the maximum number of emails that can be sent? I believe Gmail has limitations here (which are higher for google apps users but still limited).
The main reason I wouldn't use this personally is the mail merge relies on keeping tons of CVS files lying around, which is now very scalable, are there any thoughts on being able to store contacts with If No Reply (in the cloud) as that would be killer in my view.
@jasondainter hi Jason, you're right - it's a Gmail limitation (500 per day if on a regular Gmail account, 2000 per day if on Google Apps for Business).
As for the csvs, you can also add contacts to If No Reply via our API, and we'll be adding more functionality to the contacts dashboard at ifnoreply.com too - so stay tuned!
Well done guys. Will be interested to see a MailMerge option in the product as well. Have you planned for any of that?
cheers @ggeorgiev! mail merge is available - this part of the video explains how to use it: https://youtu.be/msXD5zL32VI?t=162
Are you kidding...?!!! This is amazing and (feature-wise) it makes all the others in the space look like subpar. Consider me a customer!
@jeffrey_wyman thanks for the feedback - Vocus is a great tool too. We're focused on sales automation, so we handle just this one aspect really well (it's simpler, and easier to personalise - unlike a lot of the competition, and we'll be adding a lot of integrations). Vocus is a really neat tool that extends Gmail's functionality. That's the main difference.
Hi Hunters! 😻
I'm one of the makers of If No Reply - firstly, thanks for the hunt Eric!
The reason we created If No Reply was to help grow our own business. It allows you to schedule follow-up emails that are only sent if you don't get a reply from somebody (and it's designed for Gmail).
The idea is to save time following up with prospects, and make more conversions too.
Anybody who spends a lot of time following up by email would probably find INR useful - but here are the 3 main ways we use it in our own business:
1. Sales outreach
2. Inbound sales to existing customers
3. Sending welcome emails to new customers via our API
I know there are a lot of sales automation tools (e.g. Outreach, Reply, PersistIQ) and a lot of Gmail extensions too (e.g. Boomerang, ReBump). We've tried more than I can recall, and we've been paying customers for some too... and in spite of this, we didn't find any of them met our need (simplicity and personalisation).
We set out to create a simple sales automation tool that works perfectly with Gmail. Check it out at https://www.ifnoreply.com - we'd love to hear your thoughts!
If you have any questions I'll be on here all day with my cofounder Harry, so please do ask 🤓

@edmoyse Do you surface these emails back to my inbox? In other words, is there anyway to get notified that a "ifnoreply" was triggered?
@pauliebeck @levibostian Hi Paulie and Levi - thanks for the feedback! The reason we originally hid the pricing page was because we applied an earlybird discount for Product Hunt users (that they'd get when they signed up). We had no idea it'd be this unpopular though 😬 - so we've updated it already. You can now see pricing without signing up :)
@preben_frenning @adriangrant it'll be sent from your Gmail just like normal (so will appear in your outbox). Otherwise you can bcc another email address of yours (one way of getting notified). Still, open to suggestions - did you have something else in mind? What would be ideal?
@edmoyse @adriangrant Well the bcc seems like a VERY simple and effective solution, so I like that. I have activated push notifications for my Gmail, so having your own push notification solution wouldn't really help. You could just tell people about the bcc "trick" as a help text or something =)
This is awesome. An interesting challenge I find about Gmail extensions is that they often conflict with one another. For instance, using Streak and Mixmax together is not possible. There are some features in Mixmax I'd love to keep using while using Streak (like scheduling and more), but I need the functionality of Streak for mailmerges.
In this case, I'd love to use If No Reply, but after doing a mailmerge with If No Reply, I'll need to go add these emails to individual boxes in Streak manually. That's not a big deal really. What I've resorted to doing is having different Google Chrome profiles with different sets of extensions so that I can accomplish all of these tasks separately and the extensions won't conflict.
Really excited to use this extension!
@izzydoesizzy thanks! We're actually thinking about how best to integrate with Streak, so please send me an email if you have any more thoughts: ed@ifnoreply.com
@edmoyse just checked out the pricing - is it based on the number of people you email, or the number of emails you send?
@justinnothling it's the number of people you email per month (ie emails to the same person don't cost extra)
appreciate your feedback @noxowe, the reason why we've done this is because we apply early bird discounts on users who've signed up, given we've just launched.
@hyharryhuang It would still be nice to see a basic pricing with a notice included that early birds get x % off etc
@edmoyse @hyharryhuang Cool! I think it will get you more signups, at least from people like me :) I don't sign up to things before I know how much I need to pay cause if I signed up and it's too much you have my contact info but I don't profit anything. That's the kind of sub-conscious thinking that goes through my mind when I see 'Contact sales' or 'sign up to see prices'
Been using IfNoReply in beta. I used to spend hours trying to manually track and follow up on my emails. Now IfNoReply does everything automatically. I just import my csv contacts list, customize and schedule my follow up emails. It's saving me time following up with journalists. I'm getting a lot more replies! I absolutely love it!
This is some wizard stuff right here. Was just talking with some saleswoman that does a lot of cold emailing in my industry. She was mentioning she wished there was something like this! Can't wait to link her! Just wanted to be sure is the Free plan going to be around forever? 20 contacts wouldn't suite her as she would need the Pro but for me Free would suite me for now.
@zolihonig yes! For now you can still send from multiple email addresses, but you have to log into Gmail separately for each email address. Multiple emails all under 1 account is coming though... as is Inbox support, so watch this space 👀
