4 Outlook Hacks to Take the Guesswork Out of Email
1. Know who is opening your messages and links with Email Tracking
When you send an email, you shouldn’t feel like you’re pushing it into the abyss, never to be seen again.
You should have the guarantee that even if there is no response, you’ll understand what’s on your recipient’s mind to some degree.
By utilizing Email Tracking, you’ll always know where your email is headed so that you can press send (With Yesware) with confidence.
2. Create and save personalized email templates that live in your inbox
Templates are the core of Yesware. Why? Because they’re a simple way to save a hell of a lot of time.
This outlook hack is a game-changer.
You can save messages to your inbox to use in the future. Gone are the days of composing the same messages over and over again.
To create your first template, click into “Add Template” in the Outlook ribbon.
From there, you can steal one of our templates or create your own:
You can expect to:
- Save emails with placeholders in a library that plugs right into your inbox
- Insert (and send) a templated email in less than 60 seconds (instead of 10 minutes)

3. Use Campaigns to send automated mass email sequences based on engagement
When you need to send a bunch of emails, it’s difficult to keep track of everything.
Knowing when to follow up or send additional emails shouldn’t take up any of your time.
So, why not put everything on autopilot?
Our newest feature, Campaigns, helps you stay on task by sending automated, personalized email campaigns.
With Campaigns, you can send follow-up emails based on recipient engagement. So, if your recipient doesn’t reply in X days, you can trust that your follow-up email will send.
The best part? It lives right in your Yesware sidebar:
4. Auto-sync your recipients to CRM
Data entry shouldn’t be the bane of your existence.
