Hunter offers three email integrations you can connect to send single emails or create an email sequence directly in Hunter Sequences.
To start sending emails with Hunter, simply connect your Gmail or Outlook account (or their professional equivalents, Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 Business). Starting with our lowest-paid plan, you can also connect your professional emails using SMTP/IMAP.
How to send a single email with Hunter
Once your email accounts are connected to Sequences, you can start sending individual emails or email sequences.
The single emailing feature is available in the Leads section. There are two ways to contact your leads from there:
From a single lead's contact window
Click on the lead's name to open up the detailed view.
Click "Send an email" in the lead's contact window to contact them directly.
ā
From the three dots on the far right of the leads table
Scroll to the right end of the Leads table.
Click the three dots and select "Send an email".
Compose your email in the pop-up window, or select a saved template to reuse with other contacts.
How to send an email sequence from Leads
To send an email to an entire list of leads, start by selecting all of the leads you wish to contact.
On the blue action bar, click "Add to a sequence" to add the leads to an existing email sequence, or click the three dots and choose "Create a new sequence" to create a new email sequence.
š For a comprehensive guide, refer to the dedicated Sequences tutorial.
How to add templates
In your saved templates, which you can find in the Templates section, you can set different customized attributes such as First Name, Last Name, Full Name, Email, Position, Company and Website.
āHunter automatically fills in these attributes when you send the email, using the contact's information saved in your account. If some contacts are missing an attribute, add a fallback value so the email still sends correctly.
You can also add custom attributes if the attribute you want is not in the list.
You can easily select a template when you compose a new email in the "Content" section of your email sequence, as shown in the screenshot below:
š” Note: When using the Gmail integration, your Gmail signature will always be appended at the end of the message.
How to track and monitor your emails
Hunter automatically tracks every email you send, giving you real-time statistics on opens and replies. On any paid plan, you can also track link clicks.
ā
To review an email's status, go to the Leads page and open the lead's contact window. Hunter displays all the activity related to that lead.
Tracking events are also displayed in the "Sending Status" column in the Leads section.
š Tip: If the "Sending status" column isn't visible, you can change which columns are displayed using the + icon at the top right of your Leads table.
You can also set filters to find leads with a specific "Sending status".
To sum things up
Connect Gmail, Outlook, or any SMTP/IMAP account to send from Hunter.
Send one-off emails from a lead's contact window, or launch a sequence to reach a full list at once.
Track opens, replies, and (on paid plans) link clicks straight from the Leads table.
