Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need Pro to send messages?

Yes. You need a Pro subscription to start outreach. Lite includes 10 messages per month; Basic and Team include unlimited messages. Plan limits and messaging safeguards still apply.

Can I follow up and read replies in InboxReads?

Yes. Conversations live in your inbox, where you can read the message history and reply.

Can I tell whether my message has been read?

Basic and Team plans include read receipts. Your inbox shows delivery status and, when available, when your outgoing message was read.

Is this for emailing my newsletter subscribers?

No. InboxReads outreach is for contacting newsletter creators and managing partnership or sponsorship conversations. It is not a newsletter publishing platform or a subscriber email campaign tool.
