Cold email guides for outbound agencies
These cold email guides are numbered, step-by-step setups for one job each: an auto reply in Gmail, a follow-up sequence, a booking page on Google Calendar, or getting reply alerts into Slack. Each guide lists what you need before you start and ends with a short summary.
Latest guides
What the guides cover
Inbox and auto replies
Auto replies, filters and alerts for the inbox your replies land in.
Sequences
How to lay out the steps of a cold email sequence and when each one should go out.
Calendars and booking
Booking pages, free and busy times, and handing a lead a time that works.
Meetings from replies
What appointment setting and AI SDRs are, and how the work is split between people and software.
Where to go next
Guides stick to the steps. For the reasoning behind them, with examples you can copy, read the Revbound blog. To check a draft or work out a number before you send, open the free cold email tools.
Several of these setups are the manual version of what Revbound does. It reads replies from Instantly, Smartlead, Email Bison, PlusVibe, SendKit and ArcSend, writes back to out-of-office leads when they return, contacts the person a lead refers you to, and books meetings on Cal.com or Google Calendar. Agencies moving off a bigger reply tool can compare it as a Master Inbox alternative.

Questions about the guides
What are the Revbound cold email guides?
The Revbound guides are step-by-step instructions for single cold email tasks, such as setting up an auto reply, building a follow-up sequence or creating a booking page. Each step is numbered so you can follow along.
Do I need Revbound to follow the guides?
No. Every guide works with the tools it names, and you can follow it without a Revbound account. Where Revbound can do a step for you, the guide says so.
How is a guide different from a blog post?
A Revbound guide walks through one setup in order, with what you need first and a summary at the end. A blog post explains an idea with examples and leaves the setup to you.
Which calendars can Revbound book meetings on?
Revbound books meetings on Cal.com and Google Calendar. It only offers a lead times that are free on the connected calendar.
Does Revbound work with Slack?
Revbound can send alerts to a Slack channel. Slack is for alerts only: you cannot answer a lead from Slack, so every answer is sent from Revbound.
Is there a free trial of Revbound?
Yes. Revbound has a 3-day free trial with every feature. After the trial, plans are $49, $99 or $149 a month, month to month.
