1. Connecting Your Email Sending Provider
Vridhi AI supports two primary methods for sending emails: your own Custom SMTP server (SendGrid, Mailgun, Amazon SES, Brevo) or Gmail / Google Workspace via App Passwords.
Option A: Custom SMTP (Recommended)
Navigate to Dashboard > Settings > Email and enter your host, port, username, and password:
- Host: smtp.sendgrid.net (or your provider)
- Port: 587 (TLS) or 465 (SSL)
- Secure: Enabled (SSL/TLS)
Option B: Gmail / Google Workspace
Google requires a dedicated 16-character App Password (not your normal Gmail login password):
- Enable 2-Step Verification on your Google Account.
- Search for App Passwords in Google Account.
- Generate a password named "Vridhi Outreach".
- Paste host:
smtp.gmail.com, port:465.
2. Dynamic Personalization & AI Intros
Cold emails that use real personalization convert 4x higher and never land in spam filters. Vridhi replaces tags automatically for every recipient:
{{name}} — First name or Contact name
{{company}} — Lead's business / company name
{{category}} — Industry / profession (e.g. "Dentistry")
{{myCompany}} — Your agency or business name
