How it works

Same AI writing, your own send button

Direct Send doesn't change how your emails are written. It changes who clicks send.

1

Lakewave writes the email

Same AI personalization as always (referencing company news, role, and industry trends). Nothing about the writing changes.

2

Export your Send Pack

One click packages your approved emails into a ready-to-send format, with a compliant CAN-SPAM footer already appended.

3

Push to Gmail or Outlook

Opens directly in your own inbox, pre-filled and ready. You review and hit send. Nothing leaves Lakewave's servers.

FAQ

Questions, answered

What is Direct Send?

Direct Send lets you export AI-written emails as a Send Pack and send them yourself from your own Gmail or Outlook, without connecting your inbox to Lakewave via OAuth.

Is Direct Send CAN-SPAM compliant?

Yes. Every email generated for Direct Send includes a compliant footer with sender address and unsubscribe language, appended automatically at generation time.

Why would I use Direct Send instead of connecting my inbox?

Some reps aren't ready to grant OAuth access to their inbox, work in a regulated industry with IT restrictions, or simply want manual control before their first send. Direct Send is available on every plan for exactly that reason.

Do I lose AI personalization if I use Direct Send instead of connecting Gmail?

No. Emails are still generated with the same AI personalization. The only difference is who clicks send.

Can I use Direct Send for cold email outreach?

Yes. Direct Send is commonly used for cold email outreach to new prospects, but it works the same way for any AI-generated message (renewals, follow-ups, or warm introductions) since the email itself is generated identically either way.

Send your way: connected or Direct Send.
