How to Use Email Finder
Email Finder lets you discover and verify professional email addresses. Each successful discovery uses 1 Discovery Credit. Found emails are automatically saved to My Contacts.
Step 1: Open Email Finder
- In the sidebar, click Email Finder.
You'll see your Discovery Credits Remaining at the top. If you're low, use Buy more credits (or go to Buy Credits in the sidebar).
Step 2: Enter the Person's Name
- First Name – Enter the person's first name (e.g. John).
- Last Name – Enter the person's last name (e.g. Doe).
Under Choose Input Method, pick one:
- Company Website – Recommended. You'll enter the company domain (e.g. microsoft.com).
- Company Name – You enter the company name; we try to find the website. Quick but less reliable.
If you chose Company Website:
- In Company Domain, enter the domain only (e.g. microsoft.com, google.com, apple.com). Do not use www.
If you chose Company Name:
- In Company Name, enter the company name (e.g. Microsoft, Google, Apple).
Step 5: Run the Search
The page will show a short loading state, then results.
Step 6: Use the Results
For each result you'll see:
- The discovered email address
- A Verified or Unverified badge
- Saved to Contacts – these emails are auto-saved to My Contacts
- Copy – copy the email to your clipboard
If no email is found, you'll see a message suggesting you try a different name or domain.
Recent Discoveries
Below the search form, the Recent Discoveries table shows your latest finds with Email, Name, Domain, and Discovered (date).
Tips for Email Finder
- Use the Company Website method and the exact domain when you know it (e.g. company.com).
- Discovery uses 1 credit per lookup; results are cached so repeat lookups for the same person/domain don't use extra credits.
- Low on credits? Click Buy more credits or open Buy Credits from the sidebar.
How to Use Automatic Email (Campaigns)
Automatic Email is done through Email Campaigns: you create a campaign, choose recipients from your discovered emails, write the initial email and optional follow-ups, and choose when to send (now or later). Emails are sent from a connected account (Gmail or Outlook).
Before You Start
- Discover some emails – Use Email Finder first so you have recipients.
- Connect an email account – You need at least one connected account to send. Connect Gmail or Outlook from Settings (or the link shown on the campaign page if you have none).
Step 1: Open Create Campaign
- In the sidebar, click Email Campaigns.
- Click New Campaign.
Or from the Dashboard, use the Create Campaign shortcut.
You can also click Back to Campaigns anytime to return to the campaign list.
Step 2: Campaign Name
- Campaign Name * – Give the campaign a name (e.g. Q1 Outreach, Product Launch).
Step 3: Select Recipients
- Under Select Recipients * you'll see your discovered emails.
- Use Select All or Deselect All to select or clear everyone.
- Tick the checkbox next to each person you want to include.
- The counter shows how many are selected.
If you have no discovered emails, you'll see a message with a link to Discover more emails (Email Finder).
Step 4: Send From Email Account
- Send From Email Account * – Choose the Gmail or Outlook account to send from.
If no account is connected, use the link on the page to connect an email account.
Step 5: Initial Email
Subject Line *
- Enter the subject. Use Insert Variable to add: [First], [Last], [FullName], [Company], [Email], [Domain].
Email Body *
- Write your message. Use Insert Variable for the same placeholders so each recipient gets a personalized email.
Live Email Preview
- Use Preview based on recipient: and choose a recipient to see how the subject and body look with real data.
- Click the refresh icon to update the preview after changes.
Step 6: When to Send Initial Email
Under When to Send Initial Email, choose:
- Send Immediately – Campaign starts sending as soon as you create it.
- Schedule for Later – Pick date and time.
If you chose Schedule for Later:
- Quick Schedule: Tomorrow 9 AM, Tomorrow 2 PM, Next Monday 9 AM, or Custom.
- Date – Pick the day.
- Time – Pick the time.
- Timezone – Choose your timezone (e.g. Eastern Time, Pacific Time, UTC).
A preview line will show when the campaign will be sent.
Step 7: Follow-up Emails (Optional)
Under Follow-up Emails:
- Click Add Follow-up to add a follow-up.
- For each follow-up:
- Subject – Usually "Re:" plus your initial subject (you can leave as is).
- Email Body * – Write the follow-up. You can use the same Insert Variable placeholders.
- Send this follow-up: – Number of days after initial email (e.g. 3).
- Preferred Send Time – Time of day to send (e.g. 9:00 AM).
You can add multiple follow-ups. They're sent only to people who haven't replied.
Step 8: Create the Campaign
- Cancel – Discard and go back to Email Campaigns.
- Create Campaign – Save and start (or schedule) the campaign.
After you click Create Campaign, the campaign is created and will send according to your schedule.

- Delete – Remove the campaign (confirm in the Confirm Delete dialog with Delete Campaign).
The card shows Recipients, Sent, Opened, Replied, and Open Rate.
