Reply consultants

Q: What channels does Reply.io support for outreach?

Reply supports email, LinkedIn (connection requests, messages, profile views, post likes), phone calls, SMS, and WhatsApp. You can build sequences that use any combination of these channels. A typical sequence might start with an email, follow up with a LinkedIn connection request, then add a phone call step if there is no response.

Q: How does the Reply.io n8n node work?

The n8n node lets you push contacts into Reply sequences, update contact information, pause or resume sequences, and retrieve campaign statistics. A common workflow: a new lead enters your CRM, n8n pushes them into a Reply sequence, and when the prospect replies, a webhook triggers n8n to update the CRM deal stage and notify the sales rep.

Q: Does Reply.io help with email deliverability?

Yes. Reply includes email warm-up (gradually increasing send volume on new domains), send rate limiting (to avoid triggering spam filters), bounce detection, and unsubscribe management. These features help protect your domain reputation, which directly affects whether your emails land in the inbox or spam folder.

Q: Can I A/B test emails in Reply.io?

Yes. You can create multiple variants for any email step in a sequence. Reply splits the audience and tracks open rates and reply rates per variant. After enough data, you can see which version performs better and adjust your messaging. This works for subject lines, body copy, and call-to-action text.

Q: How does Reply handle LinkedIn automation?

Reply can automate LinkedIn actions as steps in a sequence: viewing a profile, sending a connection request with a note, and following up with a LinkedIn message. These actions are paced to stay within LinkedIn's usage limits. It requires a LinkedIn account connected to Reply and operates within LinkedIn's terms of service guidelines.

Q: Can Reply.io work alongside my existing CRM?

Yes. Reply has native integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, and Copper, plus an API for other CRMs. The typical setup is two-way sync: leads flow from the CRM into Reply sequences, and engagement data (replies, opens, meeting booked) flows back so the CRM record stays current without manual updates.

We can help you automate your business with Reply and hundreds of other systems to improve efficiency and productivity. Get in touch if you’d like to discuss implementing Reply.

About Reply

Reply.io is a sales engagement platform that automates multi-channel outbound prospecting. It lets sales teams build sequences that combine emails, LinkedIn actions, phone calls, and SMS into a single campaign, then tracks engagement and manages follow-ups automatically. The goal is to get prospects to respond without requiring a rep to manually send every touchpoint.

The platform includes an AI writing assistant that generates and refines email copy, A/B testing for subject lines and message variants, and analytics that show open rates, reply rates, and bounce rates per sequence step. Reply also handles deliverability basics: email warm-up, sending limits, and bounce management to protect your domain reputation.

Reply has an n8n node, which means you can connect it to the rest of your sales stack programmatically. Leads from your CRM or lead gen tools can be pushed into Reply sequences automatically. When a prospect replies positively, n8n can create a deal in your CRM, notify the rep on Slack, and pause the sequence. For outbound sales teams doing volume prospecting, Reply replaces the manual work of tracking who has been contacted, when to follow up, and across which channel. See how we build outbound sales automation.

How it works

We work hand-in-hand with you to implement Reply

As Reply consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate Reply with integrate and automate 800+ tools.

Step 1

Define Your Outbound Sequences

We map out the sequences your team needs: which prospect segments get which messaging, how many touchpoints per sequence, which channels to use (email, LinkedIn, phone), and what the follow-up cadence looks like. This planning ensures your sequences are tailored to your buyer personas, not generic.

Step 2

Set Up Sender Accounts and Warm-Up

We configure the email accounts and LinkedIn profiles that will send outreach. For new domains or accounts, we set up Reply’s email warm-up to build sender reputation gradually. We also configure send limits, working hours, and timezone settings to maximise deliverability.

Step 3

Build Sequences in Reply

We create your sequences in Reply with the email copy, LinkedIn action steps, call task reminders, and conditional logic (e.g., skip LinkedIn if no profile found, move to phone if email bounces). Each step gets A/B variants where appropriate so you can optimise over time.

Step 4

Connect Reply to Your CRM via n8n

Using the Reply n8n node, we build the integration between Reply and your CRM. New leads entering a target segment in the CRM are pushed into the appropriate Reply sequence automatically. Replies and engagement data sync back to the CRM so reps have full context.

Step 5

Configure Reply Detection and Next Steps

We set up webhook triggers so that when a prospect replies, n8n can classify the response (interested, not interested, out of office) and take the right action: pause the sequence, create a deal, schedule a meeting, or move the contact to a different sequence.

Step 6

Launch, Monitor, and Optimise

We start with a pilot campaign to a small audience, monitor deliverability metrics (bounce rate, spam complaints, open rates), and refine messaging before scaling up. After launch, we review A/B test results weekly and adjust sequences based on what is actually generating replies and meetings.
