Open rate dropped from 42% to 4%

Hi!

Did someone had such an issue when was sending cold emails from Hubspot sequences? We had a super low unsubscribe and bounce rates, emails are cleaned, mailboxes are set up properly, warming up tool shows that all mailboxes work properly and none in black list or marked as spam. But still no opens and no replies.

Tested sending emails directly from gmail, they landed in main box.
We also use lemlist, and have this same issue there.

Can anyone help?

Thank you, but as I said, we have issues with sequences (sales emails), not marketing ones.

For sequence you can follow this article here : https://knowledge.hubspot.com/sequences/understand-your-sequences-sender-score

The sequences sender score measures the quality and effectiveness of your sequences emails. The sender score is calculated using the reply rate and bounce rate of the emails in the sequence.
