Những tính năng ẩn mà hầu hết mọi người bỏ lỡ

• Spintax: Wrap word choices in braces and Smartlead rotates them per send, so no two emails look identical to spam filters.
• Client view: Give an agency client read-only access to a single campaign without exposing your other work.
• Lead category webhooks: Fire a Slack alert the moment a reply is tagged Interested, so nobody misses a hot answer.
• Split testing: Run two subject lines inside one campaign and keep the winner. Short subject lines under six words grab attention fastest.

Những lỗi thường gặp cần tránh khi sử dụng Smartlead

Khắc phục sự cố Smartlead

Vấn đề: Email bị chuyển vào thư rác

Gây ra: Missing DNS authentication or a link-heavy first email.

Sửa chữa: Publish SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, then remove every link and image from step one of your sequence.

Problem: Mailbox Keeps Disconnecting

Gây ra: An expired app password or a security reset at your email provider.

Sửa chữa: Generate a new app password and reconnect. Double check that IMAP access is still switched on.

Problem: Replies Not Showing in the Inbox

Gây ra: IMAP sync lag or replies filtered into another folder.

Sửa chữa: Force a resync from the mailbox settings, then identify areas in your provider rules that divert incoming mail.
