1. How it works
If you wish to add an email account to Woodpecker go to the Settings → Accounts tab.
Note: if you do not have any free slots you won’t be able to activate newly added email accounts. You can always deactivate one of the currently active email accounts and replace its slot with a new one. Learn how to add a new slot to your Woodpecker account »
Once you connect your email addresses you can switch their status between Active and Inactive in order to manage them or to add additional ones.
2. How to activate an Email Account
In order to activate your email simply hit a switch button next to it and after that, you’ll see it changing its color to green, which means your email account is now active and available for sending.
An active email account allows you to run a campaign with it and receive incoming emails from your prospects. It is important to keep it active as long as your campaign isn’t marked as ‘Completed’ in order not to miss any response from your recipients.
Keep in mind that you won’t see the activation switch button if you do not have any free slots to which this email account can be connected.
In Woodpecker Agency
You can manage your clients’ email accounts directly from the list of companies. Simply click on the arrow right to their company name and you’ll see emails under their account.
Remember, that in order to be able to activate an email account, there needs to be an empty slot on your main Agency account.
This can be achieved by either deactivating other unused email accounts or by simply purchasing an additional email slot »
3. How to deactivate an Email Account
Once you’ve finished your campaign using a certain email account you can deactivate it by clicking on the switch button next to Sending Limit in order to deactivate it and empty the slot for another email address.
Remember that Woodpecker will not track incoming emails for deactivated email accounts. That means the statistics will no longer be generated and the new replies for your campaigns won't show up in Woodpecker Inbox. All your current running campaigns using this address will be paused.
Deactivating email accounts gives you the opportunity to add a new email address (or activate another one) without the need to delete an unused one. You can keep them all connected to Woodpecker and toggle between them as you need.
