FAQ

Does warmup guarantee inbox placement?

No. Warmup can support activity patterns, but inbox placement depends on many sender, content, recipient, and domain factors.

Can I warm up and send campaigns at the same time?

Yes, but be conservative. Watch total mailbox activity and reduce campaign volume if account health declines.

Sending readinessCheck accounts before launch

Connect mailboxes, validate SMTP/IMAP, warm up accounts, and choose conservative sending limits.
