Hi Hunters! 😻
I'm one of the makers of If No Reply - firstly, thanks for the hunt Eric!
The reason we created If No Reply was to help grow our own business. It allows you to schedule follow-up emails that are only sent if you don't get a reply from somebody (and it's designed for Gmail).
The idea is to save time following up with prospects, and make more conversions too.
Anybody who spends a lot of time following up by email would probably find INR useful - but here are the 3 main ways we use it in our own business:
1. Sales outreach
2. Inbound sales to existing customers
3. Sending welcome emails to new customers via our API
I know there are a lot of sales automation tools (e.g. Outreach, Reply, PersistIQ) and a lot of Gmail extensions too (e.g. Boomerang, ReBump). We've tried more than I can recall, and we've been paying customers for some too... and in spite of this, we didn't find any of them met our need (simplicity and personalisation).
We set out to create a simple sales automation tool that works perfectly with Gmail. Check it out at https://www.ifnoreply.com - we'd love to hear your thoughts!
If you have any questions I'll be on here all day with my cofounder Harry, so please do ask 🤓

@pauliebeck@levibostian Hi Paulie and Levi - thanks for the feedback! The reason we originally hid the pricing page was because we applied an earlybird discount for Product Hunt users (that they'd get when they signed up). We had no idea it'd be this unpopular though 😬 - so we've updated it already. You can now see pricing without signing up :)
@preben_frenning@adriangrant it'll be sent from your Gmail just like normal (so will appear in your outbox). Otherwise you can bcc another email address of yours (one way of getting notified). Still, open to suggestions - did you have something else in mind? What would be ideal?
@edmoyse@adriangrant Well the bcc seems like a VERY simple and effective solution, so I like that. I have activated push notifications for my Gmail, so having your own push notification solution wouldn't really help. You could just tell people about the bcc "trick" as a help text or something =)
appreciate your feedback @noxowe, the reason why we've done this is because we apply early bird discounts on users who've signed up, given we've just launched.
@edmoyse@hyharryhuang Cool! I think it will get you more signups, at least from people like me :) I don't sign up to things before I know how much I need to pay cause if I signed up and it's too much you have my contact info but I don't profit anything. That's the kind of sub-conscious thinking that goes through my mind when I see 'Contact sales' or 'sign up to see prices'
I've been using this myself - awesome product, so happy to see it on Product Hunt. I've tried out a lot of competitors too - from Outreach to PersistIQ to ReBump. All I can say is I'm really glad 🙌🏼to have found If No Reply!
Seems like a great product and congrats on this build but why can't i see the pricing model before i sign up? I want to check it out, and review it and then get to use my 14 day free trial (when i choose) with intention of continuing but this way, i'm almost immediately turned off.
@themelamini yes and also, can i hold off on the 14 day free trial until i actually start (for me its next week) as i have some planning to do for outbound/inbound marketing efforts.
@themelamini@stefamini thanks for the feedback! The reason we've done it this way is because you get a discount if you subscribe during your free trial (so to see the pricing you have to sign up first). This is the sort of thing we can change pretty easily though - so please do send any extra feedback to ed@ifnoreply.com
@stefamini@themelamini as for the free trial, I think most of our users would want the free trial immediately... but what we could do is postpone your free trial if you like? Just send a message to ed@ifnoreply.com :)
Great tool for email marketing and keep the workflow smooth.
Can it work on Inbox by Google? I am used to Inbox and find it harder to switch back the traditional Gmail interface.
@justinnothling thanks Justin - we think the API use-case will mostly be for user welcome emails, but keen to hear if you use it for anything else, and always looking for feedback
@stevenjacobs_ Hey Steven, creator of SndLatr.com here :)
I think @Edmoyse and @hyharryhuang do a great job here with mail merge and customizing each message. We do this but I think they've done a better job with this particular aspect of cold emailing!
@nathanlatka@stevenjacobs_@hyharryhuang thanks! 😍 Similarly, SndLatr is more focused around sending messages at a particular time - and they've nailed this :)
It seems like this is just one small part of what's offered as part of Mixmax, which is, depending on how you look at it, not more expensive and does *much* more. Truth?
https://mixmax.com/sequences
@cozysd you're right in some ways - although we don't offer as many feature as mixmax, we do focus purely on sequencing. this means we provide a tool that requires minimum effort to get started whilst still being extremely effective.
as an example, mixmax's sequences mean you have to go to their site, add a new sequence, add new contacts and then work out how to send this (along with adding tags). with us, everything is in one window in front of you and displayed how a recipient would see it if they were sent that email (including tags being populated). we think this makes us a lot more attractive to startups and small-medium sized businesses.
Harry and Ed have really hit the nail on the head for a simple, accessible sales automation tool. It's a great, wholly useful, and excellently executed product. 10/10, would upvote again.
Been using IfNoReply in beta. I used to spend hours trying to manually track and follow up on my emails. Now IfNoReply does everything automatically. I just import my csv contacts list, customize and schedule my follow up emails. It's saving me time following up with journalists. I'm getting a lot more replies! I absolutely love it!
This is some wizard stuff right here. Was just talking with some saleswoman that does a lot of cold emailing in my industry. She was mentioning she wished there was something like this! Can't wait to link her! Just wanted to be sure is the Free plan going to be around forever? 20 contacts wouldn't suite her as she would need the Pro but for me Free would suite me for now.
@andreasduess thanks Andrus - for anyone else reading this, the reason for the "sign up to see pricing" is because we apply an earlybird discount. We'll update this now so you can see the pricing!
@edmoyse@ifnoreply Thank you, Ed! I decided to start using in January, b/c it seems in front of Xmas there's a bit more risks to annoy people with follow-ups ... I will get back to you with the comments/feedback after.
Thank you!
