How it works

Four steps between signing in and your first reply.

  1. 01

    Connect your mailboxes

    Gmail and Outlook over OAuth, or any provider over SMTP. Add your domain and Pigeon writes SPF, DKIM and DMARC straight to Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Namecheap or Cloud DNS.

  2. 02

    Let them warm up

    Multi-turn conversations build sender reputation before you send anything cold. Engagement is targeted at 30–50%, and a risk scorer refuses pairings that would look artificial to a provider.

  3. 03

    Launch the sequence

    Multi-step campaigns with per-step A/B variants, rotation across every inbox, send windows by timezone and weekday, and ramp-up that scales volume with mailbox age.

  4. 04

    Work the replies

    Every response lands in one threaded inbox with reply detection across Gmail API, IMAP and inbound webhooks. Follow-ups stop automatically the moment someone answers.

The brutal part

None of it works.Not the thing they sold you to fix it.

The bottleneck was never your copy, your servers, or your merge tags. It’s that in 2026 spam filters weigh sending behavior, engagement history, cross-channel activity, and whether the recipient has any reason to recognize you at all. Here’s every “fix” the industry keeps selling — and why it can’t move that.

Better infrastructure

“Buy 50 domains and 200 mailboxes.”

Mailbox providers fingerprint newly-spun domains in bulk. More infrastructure is a bigger footprint to flag, not a shortcut to the inbox.

Personalization tokens

“Add {{first_name}} and a custom first line.”

A merge field doesn't make a stranger's email wanted. Filters read behavior and recognition, not how many variables you spliced in.

Dedicated IPs & servers

“Get a private IP so you own your reputation.”

A cold IP with no engagement history is a liability, not an asset. Reputation is earned by people wanting your mail — not by renting hardware.

Warm-up networks

“20,000-inbox warm-up guarantees the inbox.”

Warm-up is bots emailing bots. Providers increasingly discount it. Fake engagement can't manufacture real recipient interest.

Rewriting the copy

“A/B test subject lines and openers.”

Once you're flagged, a new subject line won't save you. A fully automated sequence still behaves like one, no matter how good the words are.

More volume

“Send 10,000 and hope for 2%.”

Volume is the disease, not the cure. Every extra send at scale spends domain reputation faster than any reply can earn it back.

“Buy a list, send 10,000 emails, hope for a 2% reply rate” isn’t a strategy.

It’s a way to burn a domain and call it growth. The number to optimize was never volume. It was familiarity.

So we made it open source.

Pigeon ships every feature those 38 platforms charge you for — writing, sequences, warm-up, deliverability, enrichment, verification, analytics — and adds the one layer none of them have: a social-first “aware” step that earns recognition before the first email. No per-seat pricing. No per-send limits. Read the code, self-host it, or just use it.
