Yirlo FAQ: answers before you start
By the Yirlo team · Product details checked against the app
This Yirlo FAQ collects the questions buyers raise before they hand over a website address and a first payment. The answers are grouped by topic: product, results, deliverability, pricing and billing, data, integrations and account. Features still being built are marked coming soon.
Product
Give Yirlo your site address and it studies your offer and your rivals, then works out which types of companies buy something like it. Its suggestions arrive as campaigns, each aimed at a single audience, for example finance directors at Ohio manufacturers with 50 to 200 employees. You choose what goes live and can change any part of it.
Results
Outbound results depend on your offer, your price and how well an audience fits. Because of that, this page gives no outcome numbers. What Yirlo shows is what happens in your own campaigns: replies, conversation states and hot leads.
Deliverability
Sending infrastructure is the part most buyers dread setting up. Yirlo owns that work, so the questions here are about what you do not have to touch and what you cannot change.
Pricing and billing
Cost follows volume. You pay for emails sent from prepaid credit, and you set the daily ceiling.
Data
Every lead Yirlo contacts is visible to you, and you can take the whole list with you at any time.
Integrations
Yirlo reaches your CRM in three ways: its public API, webhooks signed with HMAC-SHA256, and leads you can export as a CSV file. Point Make, n8n or Zapier at those webhooks, and each new reply or hot lead can arrive in Pipedrive, HubSpot, Salesforce or whatever CRM your team runs.
Account
Starting, controlling and pausing work happen in the app, with a few controls also exposed through the API.
Questions
What does Yirlo actually do?
It runs cold email outreach for you. It studies your site, proposes audiences, finds decision makers, verifies their addresses, writes each first email, sends it, and handles the replies. You review the campaigns and the inbox in the app.
Do I have to write the emails or build the lists?
Yirlo writes a personal first email for each person, based on their company. Every campaign, audience and email stays editable, and the My copy setting lets you supply your own email copy.
How many people at one company get emailed?
One person. Each company gets a single email from Yirlo, addressed to one decision maker. Writing to several contacts at the same company is coming soon.
Which countries and languages does it cover?
Any country or state. Emails go out in the lead's own language where that is supported, or you can pick one of 30 languages for a campaign.
Does Yirlo do outreach on LinkedIn, over the phone or through SMS?
Campaigns run over email at the moment. Coming soon: LinkedIn and other social messaging, along with calling and texting.
What happens when a lead replies?
Each incoming reply gets a label first, with categories like interested or out of office. Yirlo then drafts a response pointed at the goal you set, such as a call booked through your calendar link, and the draft can go out automatically. Interested replies are also forwarded to you by email as hot leads.
How will I know how my campaigns are doing?
Your results land in your email 3 times a week. Inside the app you can open the full inbox and read any conversation from start to finish.
Can you promise a reply rate or a number of meetings?
Results follow your offer and your audience. What Yirlo adds is a daily budget that shifts toward campaigns that earn replies, while weak ones are paused and replaced.
Is any domain purchase or DNS configuration required on my side?
Yirlo handles it for you. It sets up and manages the sending domains and mailboxes, so nothing needs configuring or running on your side.
Are email addresses checked before sending?
Yes. Every address is checked before Yirlo sends to it, so you are not paying to email addresses that fail the check.
Can I connect my own domains or mailboxes?
Coming soon: sending through domains and mailboxes you own. Until that arrives, Yirlo runs the whole sending side itself, using pre-warmed infrastructure that it sets up and maintains for you.
How are unsubscribes and do-not-contact lists handled?
Replies that ask to unsubscribe are labeled as such. You can also keep suppression lists of people and companies through the API, and they apply to every project in your account.
How much does Yirlo cost?
A sent email costs about five cents, deducted from credit you buy in advance. So 1,000 emails cost around $50. There is no subscription, and you pay only for what goes out. Optionally, Yirlo can recharge your account from the card on file as your credit dwindles.
Do lead search and email writing cost extra?
The price covers the whole job: Yirlo researches the companies, identifies the decision makers, and drafts every message. Your bill depends on one thing only, the number of emails that actually go out.
How do I control how much I spend?
You set a daily budget. Through the API you can also read and set a monthly cap per project and a daily budget per campaign, and check spend by day.
What happens when my credit runs low?
Auto top-up is an optional setting. Switch it on and Yirlo refills your credit by charging your saved card whenever funds get low. Leave it off and you add credit manually.
What information do I get for each lead?
A lead entry holds the person's name, work email, role, company and company website, along with the campaign that found them. In the app you also see how the conversation is going, and you can mark the deal stage and add a note.
Can I export my leads?
Yes, the app can export all of it as a CSV file. The fields in that file are note, deal_status, conversation, status, audience, website, company, title, last_name, first_name and email.
Where do the leads come from, and can I import my own?
Every contact is drawn from a pool of over 80M decision makers, and each audience is filled by filtering on job title, seniority, sector, headcount and region. Bringing in a list of your own isn't supported at the moment, though more is planned.
Does Yirlo sync with HubSpot or Salesforce?
Yes. Use Zapier, n8n or Make with Yirlo's webhooks, or call the API directly, to pass replies and hot leads into Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive or another CRM. You can also export your leads to a CSV file.
How do webhooks work?
Open Settings > Integrations and register as many as 20 HTTPS endpoints. Yirlo posts a JSON payload to them when a genuine reply arrives (reply.received; out of office, unsubscribe and plain no replies are excluded) and when a hot lead is flagged (hot_lead.received). Every request carries an X-Yirlo-Signature header, computed by running HMAC-SHA256 over the body with the endpoint's whsec_ secret. Your endpoint has 5 seconds to answer. Inside the app, each endpoint shows the status of its most recent delivery.
Can I use Zapier, n8n or Make?
Yes. Zapier, n8n and Make all work through their own generic webhook receivers, since none of them offers a dedicated Yirlo app yet. Use the Webhooks app with a Catch Hook event in Zapier, the Webhook node in n8n, or the Custom webhook module in Make. Then paste the address that tool generates into Yirlo.
Is there a public API?
An API is available, and every call authenticates with an X-API-Key header. It covers projects, campaigns, inbox conversations, hot leads, webhooks, suppression lists, analytics, and credit and billing. If you already have a list of prospects, you can load it by calling POST /agentapp/campaigns/import, which is live today. A customer's first project is created on yirlo.com, and later projects can be created through the API. Documentation lives at yirlo.com/api-docs.
How do I get started?
To start your first project, paste your website address into yirlo.com, and Yirlo comes back with suggested campaigns built around what you sell. Extra projects can also be created from code, using the API, the SDK or the MCP server.
Can my team share one account?
Add teammates from Integrations > Team by entering their email addresses. Everyone logs in with their own address and shares the same project. A CSV download or a webhook into the tools your team already uses also puts results in front of the wider team.
Can I pause or change a campaign after it starts?
Yes. Campaigns can be edited, stopped and archived, and their daily budgets changed, either in the app or through the API.
