Per-recipient results
The problem
Running outbound shouldn't require a stack of disconnected tools.
Most outbound teams juggle a sending platform, a separate verification service, a tracking tool, and spreadsheets to hold it together. Each tool adds setup time, another bill, and another place for things to break.
Typical setup today
- Your SMTP provider
- A sending platform
- A verification tool
- Tracking spreadsheets
- Multiple bills
What it adds up to
- More setup
- More cost
- More operational complexity
Bring your own SMTP
Keep your infrastructure. Simplify the workflow.
GQ CRM does not replace your SMTP — it sits on top of it. Connect the infrastructure you already use, then run the sending workflow from one place.

How it works
From your SMTP to a sent, tracked campaign
Four steps between signing up and your first tracked send.
Connect your SMTP
Create a project, enter your SMTP host and credentials, and run the built-in connection test. Encrypted before it's stored.
Add recipients and check them
Paste a list or upload a CSV. Built-in checks flag invalid formats, disposable domains, and duplicates — before anything is sent.
Create a sending task
Pick a template, set a per-task rate limit and retries, then start when you're ready. Pause and resume anytime.
Send, then see what happened
Per-recipient open/click tracking (Starter and above) and hard/soft bounce classification show who engaged.
What you get
Built around the outcome: controlled, tracked outbound email
Every feature below is part of the product today.
Control sending volume
Set per-task rate limits, pause and resume, and let automatic retries handle transient failures. Pace your outreach like outreach, not blasts.
Check recipients before send
Built-in checks flag invalid formats, disposable domains, and duplicates before they can damage your sender reputation.
See what happened after you send
Open and click tracking per recipient, not just per campaign. Bounces are classified hard and soft.
Build reusable email templates
Visual drag-and-drop or HTML editor, {{variables}} for personalization, and a built-in test send.
Keep outreach organized by project
Each project has its own SMTP, API key, templates, and sending history. Teams and roles keep agencies and clients separated.
Connect your existing workflow
A REST API with per-project API keys lets your own tools send through the same project SMTP.

Operational software, built to be reliable
Facts about how GQ CRM handles your infrastructure and data.
SMTP credentials encrypted
Credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before storage and decrypted only at send time.
Queue-based sending
Sending runs through a monitored queue with rate limits and automatic retries. Tasks pause safely if the queue is unavailable.
Workspace isolation
Teams, projects, API keys, and data are scoped per workspace — agencies keep clients separate.
Per-project API keys
Each project has its own key, stored hashed, with regeneration if it's ever exposed.
Recipient checks by design
Checks are manual by design — GQ CRM never silently skips or removes recipients. You decide what to send.
Multilingual UI
The interface is available in English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Do I need my own SMTP?+
Yes — that's the point. Connect Amazon SES, Mailgun, Gmail/Google Workspace, or any SMTP server. GQ CRM operates the workflow on top; we don't bundle or mark up your sending.
What exactly are the recipient checks?+
Before anything is sent, built-in checks flag invalid email formats, disposable domains, and duplicates. Checks are manual by design — you choose what to send.
What happens when I exceed my monthly email allowance?+
Sends are blocked once the monthly allowance is used up. One-time credit packs (3,000 / 10,000 / 100,000 emails) are applied automatically to cover overage.
Is GQ CRM a CRM?+
GQ CRM is an outbound email control plane — sending control, recipient checks, templates, tracking, and project organization. It's not another generic CRM.
Can my whole agency use it?+
Yes — teams and per-client projects are built in, with separate SMTP, templates, and sending history per client.
Do I need a credit card to start?+
No. Sign up with email or Google and start on the Free plan — no credit card required.
Is GQ CRM for spam?+
No. Our Terms of Service prohibit unsolicited bulk email. Outbound email rules differ by jurisdiction — make sure your sending complies with the rules that apply to you.
