Outreach Users

Notes:

Outreach Email Outbox states are different from the Sequence Stages and Sequence states. While sequence stages/states depend on how the prospect proceeds in a sequence, the Email Outbox states depend solely on the status of the email scheduled via Outreach including all one-off emails and sequenced emails.

Email Outbox States Overview:

Outreach provides Users the ability to identify the status of the emails scheduled via Outreach by classifying the email status into a state.

Accessing Email Outbox States for a Specific User

Outreach provides Users to access the status of all their emails sent via Outreach on one page, similar to how the mailboxes appear with native email providers(e.g. Gmail, Outlook).

Access the Outreach Platform.
Click the Activity icon (Zigzag line) in the navigation sidebar.
Click "Email Outbox" from the dropdown menu
Sort, filter, or search to locate a particular user or chose, "Sender is You".
Click each tab on the header to view emails in each state.

Email Outbox States are classified as described in the table below:

Email Outbox State	Description
