Made it. Now see what happens after you send.

Outsolvi tracks your email once it leaves your outbox: which opens were a person and which were a machine, who clicked, and who replied. Follow-ups stop on their own when someone answers. Outlook and Gmail, from $7/user/mo billed yearly.

When implementing email-format validation in your own code or in your CRM workflow rules.

FAQ

Can I validate emails with regex alone?+

Format-only. To know if an address actually exists you need an SMTP probe or an API check. Regex catches typos like 'no-at-sign'; nothing more.

Nate built Outsolvi after watching every email-tracking tool he had ever used lie to him about opens. Outsolvi grades every open as a person or a machine, in Outlook and Gmail, so the number on the dashboard is one a rep can actually act on.
