Cipher, the assistant

Ask it anything.
Or have it do it.

Cipher reads and acts across the whole workspace: why something happened, where a setting lives, and the work itself, from finding leads to pausing a campaign. Before it reveals or verifies anything that costs credits, it quotes the cost first, and it works under the same approvals as the agents.

Cipher

Why did my Q4 campaign slow down yesterday?

Two of its mailboxes are resting after Outlook deferred them, so standby mailboxes picked up their share. A placement test runs tomorrow, and they come back on a ramp after clean days.

Find heads of growth at London fintechs we haven’t contacted.

Found them, one per company, skipping people already in your workspace. Revealing and verifying them costs credits, so here’s the quote first. Add them to “Fintech Q4”?

Pause anything sending from northwind.example.

Done. I paused the campaigns using it. Want an alert when its blacklist check is clear?

SpamCipher 101

Seven steps. One platform.

How outbound works, step by step, and what SpamCipher does at each one.

01 Find

Find the people worth writing to.

Who to write to, and when to write.

How it works

Good outreach starts with a short list of the right people, not a long list of anyone. The best lists match a clear customer profile, carry verified addresses, and are timed to a reason to write: a company hiring, raising money or changing leadership. Writing on that kind of moment reads as relevant instead of random.

  • Super Search. Search SpamCipher’s own people and company database by title, seniority, department, location, industry and company size.
  • Search in plain English. Type the buyer you want in a sentence and it becomes filters.
  • Company events. Officer changes, funding filings, job posts, public contracts, grants and more, collected by SpamCipher itself.
  • Customer profiles. Each named audience runs as its own search, never blended into one.

  • Signal priorityPeople carrying a signal go first in the Sales Agent

02 Write

Write emails that sound like you on a good day.

What to say, and how it reads in the inbox.

How it works

Cold emails get replies when they are short, specific to the reader and make one clear ask. They lose replies, and inbox placement, when they lean on spam-like wording, heavy links or obvious templates. The strongest teams write a few excellent base emails and personalise the parts that matter.

  • A writer that knows your business. Business Memory holds your offers, customer profiles, proof and competitors, and every writer reads it.
  • A second model judges every draft. Pass or fail on each criterion, with the reason, from a different model family than the one that wrote it.
  • Guidance rules. Your own rules, and predefined ones, that writers and agents follow.
  • Checked before launch. A spam-risk score and a content scan run before anything is sent.

03 Send

Sequences that follow up for you.

How your emails go out, step by step.

How it works

Many replies come after the first email, so a sequence of well-spaced follow-ups matters as much as the opener. Sending inside the recipient’s working day, spreading volume across several mailboxes and stopping the moment someone replies keeps outreach both effective and polite.

  • A/B tests that pick their own winner. Weighted variants, and the winner chosen automatically.
  • Subsequences. A label, an open, a click, no open or a phrase in a reply moves a lead into its own follow-up.
  • Each lead’s own morning. Lead-timezone sending, with the windows and weekdays you set.
  • Why is this not sending?. Every reason a campaign is held, in one list.

04 Land

Land in the inbox. Not the spam folder.

Whether your email reaches the inbox, the promotions tab, spam, or nowhere.

How it works

Mailbox providers judge every sender on authentication, a reputation built over time, how recipients react, and sending patterns. They judge each provider separately, so a sender can be welcome at Gmail and struggling at Outlook on the same day. Deliverability is the work of reading those signals and adjusting before they turn into a block.

  • Warm-up on our own seed network. New mailboxes build reputation with real mailboxes SpamCipher runs.
  • The sending health engine. Every mailbox is healthy, slowed, resting or held, with the reason, and comes back on a ramp.
  • Standby mailboxes. When a mailbox rests, standbys keep the campaign’s pace, then step back.
  • Per-provider pacing. Each mailbox writes to Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo at its own hourly pace, slower after trouble.

05 Reply

Every reply, read and sorted.

What happens when someone answers.

How it works

Replies are where outreach turns into revenue, and speed matters: an interested reply answered quickly is easier to turn into a meeting than one answered tomorrow. Sorting replies by intent, from interested to out of office to wrong person, lets a team spend its time on the conversations that count.

  • Unibox. One inbox across every mailbox, campaign and agent.
  • Labels that apply themselves. Interested, meeting booked, out of office, wrong person, not interested and your own labels, picked by the model.
  • The Reply Agent. Classifies, labels, drafts and replies, on copilot or autopilot.
  • Suggested replies. An AI draft you edit and send.

06 Book

From yes to a meeting, in one place.

Turning an interested reply into a meeting and a deal.

How it works

The step between “sounds interesting” and a booked call is where many deals stall. A booking link in the prospect’s own timezone, a clear next step and a record of where each conversation stands keep that momentum.

  • Booking pages. Hours, length, buffers and notice, in the prospect’s timezone, with invites from your own mailbox.
  • Calendar busy-time. Google and Microsoft calendars kept in step.
  • The CRM. Contacts, deal value, opportunities, tasks and reports.
  • Meeting states. Kept, missed and rescheduled, so a no-show gets a follow-up.

07 Protect

Your domain. Guarded.

Keeping your domain safe and trusted.

How it works

Your domain is the asset every email rides on. SPF, DKIM and DMARC prove your mail is really yours, and DMARC reports show who else is sending as you. Blacklist listings, an expired certificate or a mail server that goes down can stop delivery without warning, so they are worth watching all the time.

  • Authentication, set up for you. SPF, DKIM and DMARC, automatically through your DNS provider or by hand.
  • DMARC monitoring. Reports, sources, a map, alerts and a setup wizard.
  • Blacklist watch. Domains and IPs checked on a schedule, with history and delisting.
  • Uptime that acts. Mail servers, website and tracking host watched; mail servers down holds sending.

Why your email lands

You don’t run deliverability.
It runs.

Ten things happen around every send, in a loop that never stops. Placement results move the health engine, and the health engine books the next test.

  1. 01

    Authentication first

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC set up and checked. A domain whose authentication breaks is held from sending.

  2. 02

    Warm-up on our own seed network

    Real mailboxes across the major providers build a new mailbox’s reputation before it sends a campaign, inside the daily budget.

  3. 03

    The sending health engine

    Every five minutes, every mailbox: healthy, slowed, resting or held, from bounces, complaints, deferrals and placement. Your own cap is never rewritten.

  4. 04

    Placement tests that run themselves

    Weekly for each domain, and the day after anything slows or rests a mailbox. The result feeds the engine.

  5. 05

    Per-provider pacing

    Each mailbox writes at most so many an hour to Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo, at half pace while that provider has been troubled.

  6. 06

    Standby mailboxes

    When a mailbox rests, standbys keep the campaign’s pace, then step back.

  7. 07

    Better hours

    Sends move toward the hours each provider has been putting your mail in the inbox, inside your window.

  8. 08

    Blacklist watch

    Every sending domain, by default. A major listing holds sending until it clears.

  9. 09

    Uptime that acts

    Mail servers down holds sending. Tracking down falls back to the shared host.

  10. 10

    The Deliverability Agent

    Watches the same signals, rescans, throttles or pauses, and tells you what it did.

What’s going wrong?

Start with the problem.

Pick what you’re seeing. Here’s why it usually happens, and how SpamCipher spots it and keeps you above it.

My reply rate is falling

Why this usually happens

A falling reply rate usually traces to one of five things: a list drifting away from the buyers who answer, copy the market has seen too often, emails quietly moving to spam, poor timing, or follow-ups that stop too soon.

How SpamCipher spots it

Campaign analytics by step, variant and mailbox show where replies dropped. Placement tests show whether the email is still reaching the inbox.

How SpamCipher fixes it
  • A/B tests with auto-winner keep copy fresh
  • Business Memory and the AI judge tighten every draft
  • Company events give a reason to write
  • Lead-timezone sending and better hours fix timing
See the recipe: Run an A/B test that picks its own winner →

I’m landing in spam

Why this usually happens

Providers move mail to spam on weak authentication, a young or damaged reputation, complaints, sudden jumps in volume, or trouble with one provider in particular. Google and Yahoo require bulk senders to authenticate, offer one-click unsubscribe and keep spam complaints under 0.3%.

How SpamCipher spots it

Inbox placement tests show inbox, spam or missing for each provider, with authentication and blacklist results beside them.

How SpamCipher fixes it
  • Warm-up on our own seed network
  • The sending health engine slows or rests a troubled mailbox
  • Per-provider pacing
  • Bulk-sender readiness checks
See the recipe: Launch your first campaign the safe way →

My bounces keep climbing

Why this usually happens

Bounces climb when lists go stale, when addresses were never verified, or when catch-all domains accept mail they later reject. Most practitioners treat 2% as the line to stay under.

How SpamCipher spots it

Reply and bounce reading sorts every bounce by type, and the abuse monitor watches the rate.

How SpamCipher fixes it
  • Email validation for one address or a whole list
  • Verify before sending, per campaign
  • List hygiene that re-checks on a schedule
  • Suppressions by email or domain
See the recipe: Clean a Mailchimp list without exporting it →

People reply but don’t book

Why this usually happens

Interest fades fast. Slow answers, a vague next step or a booking link that ignores the prospect’s timezone lose meetings that were already won.

How SpamCipher spots it

Unibox shows every interested reply in one place, labelled as it arrives.

How SpamCipher fixes it
  • The Reply Agent drafts or sends the answer
  • Booking pages in the prospect’s timezone
  • Calendar busy-time from Google and Microsoft
  • Meeting states that follow up a no-show
See the recipe: Answer every interested reply in minutes →

I don’t understand my numbers

Why this usually happens

Opens are an estimate, because many mail apps load images automatically. Replies, meetings and placement tell you more. Delivered is not the same as inbox: an email can be accepted by the server and still land in spam.

How SpamCipher spots it

Campaign analytics show overall, per day, per step and by mailbox, with a funnel and lead activity; placement results show where mail actually landed.

How SpamCipher fixes it
  • Campaign analytics and a shareable read-only link
  • Placement tests by provider
  • Agent analytics
  • CRM reports against a revenue goal

A mailbox stopped sending

Why this usually happens

Mailboxes stop for good reasons: a daily limit reached, a send window closed, lost access, or a provider pushing back. The hard part is usually finding which one.

How SpamCipher spots it

Every mailbox shows its health state and the reason, and “Why is this not sending?” lists every hold on a campaign.

How SpamCipher fixes it
  • The sending health engine and its reasons
  • Reconnect lifts only the pause lost access caused
  • Standby mailboxes keep the pace meanwhile
  • Rotation to the campaign’s healthy mailboxes
See the recipe: Keep a campaign running while a mailbox rests →

I’m worried about spam complaints

Why this usually happens

Complaints are the strongest negative signal a provider sees. Google and Yahoo ask bulk senders to stay under 0.3%, to offer one-click unsubscribe and to honour it quickly. Writing only to people with a real reason to hear from you is the best prevention.

How SpamCipher spots it

Complaints and “this is spam” replies are counted, and the workspace complaint throttle slows every mailbox when the rate climbs.

How SpamCipher fixes it
  • Unsubscribes kept apart from complaints
  • Suppressions and blocklists
  • A content scan before launch
  • The abuse monitor pauses on a bad line

Someone is sending as my domain

Why this usually happens

Without DMARC enforcement, anyone can put your domain in the From line. DMARC reports show every source sending as you, and a quarantine or reject policy tells providers what to do with the ones that fail.

How SpamCipher spots it

DMARC monitoring lists every source with its pass and fail results, on a map and a timeline.

How SpamCipher fixes it
  • The DMARC setup wizard
  • Alerts on new sources and failures
  • BIMI, MTA-STS and TLS-RPT checks
  • Domain Health scans with score-drop alerts
