CraftNudge

Reply detection

The most important thing a follow-up can do is stop.

Nothing burns goodwill faster than a scheduled follow-up that arrives after someone already replied. CraftNudge watches the inbox and shuts the sequence down the moment a real answer lands.

How it knows

The worker polls each connected inbox over IMAP and matches incoming mail back to the exact message it sent, by Message-ID. Because it matches on your own sends, unrelated mail — including warmup traffic from whatever tool you warm with — never gets mistaken for a campaign reply.

A real reply

The sequence stops immediately. You read and answer from one place, in the same thread.

A bounce

Detected, classified by DSN code, and the lead is marked bounced — separated from genuine replies so it never counts as engagement.

An out-of-office

Recognised as an automatic reply, not a human one. It does not count as a reply, and by default it does not stop the sequence — you decide.

A reply from a colleague

A reply from anyone at the same company can stop the whole company, if you switch that on — so you stop pitching a firm that already answered.

Replies land in one place where you can read the full message and answer in-thread. It is a focused reply view, not a full shared-inbox CRM — that is a different product, and we are honest about not being it.
