FluentCRM + Google Workspace: Seeking experts for compliant outreach
Hi everyone,
I’m currently looking for recommendations for experts who specialize in setting up and managing compliant outreach campaigns specifically using the FluentCRM + Google Workspace stack.
I’m working on a project for thebusinessmatcher.com where we invite organizations to claim/update their existing listings.
Two quick points/questions:
- Feature Suggestion: I wish this forum included a "Service Discussions" or "Hiring" category. There is a lot of talk about product features, but finding vetted experts who understand the nuances of deliverability, warm-up strategies, and DNS configuration for this specific stack is challenging.
- Recommendations: Does anyone have recommendations for experts providing this service?
A note of caution: I recently had a poor experience with a highly-rated expert on Upwork who didn't meet minimum standards required for safe bulk sending., so I’m being careful this time. I’d like to have some screen‑sharing during the key steps of the setup so I can follow along and understand the important parts of the configuration.
If you are an expert or have worked with a reliable one, I’d love to hear from you.
Google Workspace is really not a good solution for bulk sending. Apart from anything, they have a hard 2,000 email per day sending limit - https://support.google.com/a/answer/166852?hl=en
It's still possible to use another email sending platform with your Google Workspace email address and easily set up.
Thanks Jonathan — totally agree that Google Workspace isn’t meant for high‑volume bulk sending. The 2,000/day cap is definitely a hard limit, and I wouldn’t try to push anywhere near that.
In my case the volumes are much smaller and very controlled (20–50 emails per inbox per day during warm‑up, then gradual scaling), so Workspace is sufficient as the authenticated sending layer. The goal isn’t mass outreach, it’s a slow, compliance‑focused “claim/update your listing” workflow where deliverability and domain reputation matter more than throughput.
I’m open to using an external SMTP if needed, but for this project I’m trying to keep everything inside the FluentCRM + Google Workspace stack unless there’s a strong reason not to.
Appreciate the input and still I'm very interested in recommendations for experts who’ve actually run this setup successfully.
Hello we're a VC here so of course I tried to find our fund in your platform and couldn't see it despite being SECA registered! You should add Allegory Capital to your list! To answer your question, I feel you as part of our group we have a devops team and I poked them to help for the setup. Happy to share their details I am more than happy and we're on SES on Amazon it was quite sensitive.
Thank you Orsen, I really appreciate you taking the time to look for your fund and for the nudge. Allegory Capital definitely belongs on the platform, especially as a SECA‑registered fund, so I’ve now added you to The Business Matcher investor directory so founders and partners can actually find and tag you in their searches.
Here’s your listing link https://thebusinessmatcher.com/investors/ in case you’d like to review it, suggest any updates, or claim the profile for free so you can keep it up to date going forward.
Also, thanks for the SES tip and for looping in your devops team. This project is all about a careful “claim/update your listing” workflow with very low daily volumes per inbox, where domain reputation and compliance matter more than pure throughput, so your SES + devops experience is super relevant. Using SES as the delivery layer on top of FluentCRM while keeping things tightly controlled sounds like a solid pattern, and I’d be glad to connect with your team to learn from what you’ve already put in place.
