Automated Outreach Opt-Out and Bounce Cleanup

Every Monday, WebRun opens Outreach, collects the prospects who opted out and the addresses that hard bounced in the last week, checks which sequences and mailboxes still hold them, logs the suppression list in Airtable, and drafts you a Gmail summary to approve.

In short

How do I keep opt-outs and bounced addresses out of my sequences?

Every Monday WebRun opens Outreach, collects the week's new opt-outs and hard bounced addresses, and checks which sequences and mailboxes still hold them. It logs each one in Airtable with the removal to make and drafts a Gmail summary for sales operations, so nobody emails a person who already asked to stop.

  • Nobody who opted out is emailed again by a running sequence
  • Bounce counts per mailbox surface a sending problem early
  • Removals wait for a human tick before any sequence changes

Step by step

What does WebRun do on every run?

The exact actions WebRun takes, in order - in plain language, so you can adjust anything.

  1. WebRun signs in and gets to work

    Opens outreach.io in a real browser with your saved login - no setup, no API keys.

  2. 1

    • Capture the domain so repeat bounces from one company are visible together

    Done when Every new opt-out and hard bounce is listed with the sequences still holding it.

  3. 2
    Airtable - build the suppression list
    airtable.com

    • Leave an approve column for sales ops to tick before anything is removed

Questions, answered

Will it remove people from sequences on its own?

No. WebRun builds the suppression list and shows which sequences still hold each address. Removing a prospect or finishing a sequence stays a click sales ops makes.

Does it send any email?

No. The weekly summary is left as an unsent Gmail draft, and no prospect is ever contacted. The whole point is to stop mail going to these addresses.

Why separate opt-outs from hard bounces?

An opt-out is a person asking to stop, so it must be honoured everywhere. A hard bounce is a dead address that damages sending reputation. The list marks each one so you handle both correctly.

Put this on autopilot.
