Configure sending rules

Choose senders, daily limits, schedule, timezone, sender rotation, and safety settings. Conservative limits are better for new infrastructure.

FAQ

Can I launch without email accounts?

Only channels with connected and validated accounts can send. A campaign may be blocked if required senders are missing.

Should I start with a large list?

Start with a smaller clean segment first. Use the first results to improve copy, targeting, and sending settings.
