Cold Email Inbox Signal Tracking


Intro

Your outbound inbox is probably full of noise. Bounces, auto replies, unsubscribe requests, random responses, and somewhere in between the replies that actually matter.


This setup connects your cold email inboxes to callonreply so we can continuously monitor incoming replies, analyze the sentiment with AI, and surface high intent leads immediately.


You can configure how often inboxes are checked, anywhere from near real-time polling to longer intervals depending on your setup and preference.


Once a relevant reply is detected, notifications can be pushed directly to your desktop browser and your iPhone so you notice warm leads quickly instead of discovering them buried hours later inside your master inbox.


The goal is simple: less inbox chaos, faster reactions, and fewer missed opportunities while leads are still engaged.


Before we start with explaining the technical setup, here is what notifications look like and how the process works:

When the Setup is done you will receive following desktop notifications when our app detected signals inside your inbox.

After you click on the notification, the app will open a focus view with summary of your e-mail conversation, name of the lead and state of the signal.


By clicking on call, you will directly call the lead. (the app will open your default dialer app on the computer for that)

On your mobile phone notifications will look like this:

By tapping on it, the callonreply app will open and you can directly call the lead from your iPhone.


This allows you to do your daily regular tasks without observing the inbox 24/7. Our app will ping you when to take action.


The following setup will guide you through:

  • connecting your inboxes via IMAP
  • configuring polling intervals
  • enabling desktop notifications
  • enabling iPhone/mobile push notifications
  1. Allow Notifications

After logging in you click on “Enable” in the top corner in order to receive desktop notifications. This will allow you to later on work on your regularly daily tasks and only open the App when real signals came in.
