Understanding How Email Warm-Up Works
Learn how the email warm-up process protects your sender reputation and helps your campaigns reach inboxes safely.
💡 What It Is
When you start sending campaigns, your emails go through a warm-up period. This gradual process increases your sending volume over time, helping your messages stay out of spam and keeping your domains safe.
🎯 Why It Matters
Jumping straight to high-volume sending can get your accounts flagged or even shut down. The warm-up period protects your sender reputation by slowly building trust with email providers.
Benefits:
- Prevents bounces and spam flags
- Keeps your accounts safe
- Ensures you can scale to full volume smoothly
⚙️ How It Works
Example Setup:- You have 10 email addresses connected to your campaign.
- Each email has a sending limit of 34 per day.
- That’s a total capacity of up to 340 emails per day once you’re fully warmed up.
- We gradually increases your daily send count.
- You’ll see fewer emails go out than you’ve added to the system.
- After Warm-Up is Complete:
- Your campaigns will consistently send at full capacity (340 per day).
🙋 FAQs
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Why are fewer emails going out than I scheduled? | You’re in the slow-ramp warm-up phase. This is expected and prevents deliverability issues. After about 15 days, you’ll reach full volume. |
| What happens after the warm-up period? | Your account will send at its full capacity (up to 340 per day for an account that purchased 10,000 emails/month) on a consistent daily basis. |
| Can I change the warm-up speed? | No. The ramp-up is automatically managed for your safety and can’t be skipped or sped up. |
| Do I need to do anything during warm-up? | No — just keep building your campaign. We handle the warm-up in the background. |
🧩 Pro Tip
Use the warm-up period to test your messaging and fine-tune your templates. By the time you reach full sending volume, your campaigns will already be optimized for performance.
