Stop on reply, bounce and unsubscribe
When a prospect replies, bounces or unsubscribes, Pink Post stops their sequence automatically, so nobody gets "just bumping this" after they have answered. Stop-on-reply is a campaign switch that is on by default; out-of-office replies are detected separately and do not count as a reply.
Why it matters
Nobody ever gets a "just bumping this up" after they already answered.
When a prospect replies, bounces or unsubscribes, their enrollment stops automatically, so no further steps go out. Stop-on-reply is a per-campaign switch that is on by default.

In a campaign
Where stop on reply, bounce and unsubscribe fits in link building outreach
Pink Post runs a link building campaign in seven steps, from prospect list to a live link that keeps being checked. Here is where this feature does its work.
- Step 1
Import prospects
Upload a CSV, Excel file or Google Sheet of sites and contacts; Pink Post dedupes, blocklists and verifies them.
- Step 2
Pick a playbook
Start from a guest post, link insertion, broken link, resource page, skyscraper or partnership template.
- Step 3
Write the sequence
Edit the pitch and one or two follow-ups with conditions, placeholders and spintax; test subjects with A/B variants.
- Step 4
Send safely
Emails go out at a safe pace with rotation, warm-up, limits and DNS checks.
- Step 5 ยท this feature
Handle replies
Replies land in one inbox with labels; follow-ups stop on reply.
- Step 6
Close the deal
Move the deal to Negotiating and Deal done with the agreed price.
- Step 7
Keep the link
Mark it Link live and let Pink Post re-check the page.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Does a reply from a colleague stop it?
Replies are matched to the prospect's thread; replies from another address at the same company may need a manual stop.
Can I turn it off?
Yes, per campaign, though for outreach it should stay on.
Does it work with Gmail and Outlook mailboxes?
Yes. Pink Post works the same with Gmail, Google Workspace, Outlook, Zoho, Hostinger and any SMTP/IMAP mailbox you connect.
Is stop on reply, bounce and unsubscribe on the free plan?
Yes. Every plan includes it; plans differ by mailboxes, prospects, emails per month, users and live link checks. Free has 1 mailbox and 300 emails a month, Solo $19 has 3 mailboxes, Pro $39 has 10 and Agency $129 has 30.
How is stop on reply, bounce and unsubscribe different from a cold email tool?
Cold email tools are designed for sales pipelines. In Pink Post every feature feeds a link deal: replies move deals, deals hold prices, and live links keep being checked, so the result of the campaign is a list of live links with their cost.
