Email Warm Up Automation

Ramps sending volume safely: drip-releases 12 emails in escalating batches (20 to 35 to 50) with 2-3 day gaps to protect deliverability.

What it does

When the email warm-up tag is applied to a contact, this automation waits 5 minutes then enters a structured drip mode — sending 20 emails every 10 minutes in the first phase, waiting 2 days, then escalating to 35 emails every 10 minutes in the second phase, followed by another 2-day wait before the next escalation tier. Actual campaign emails are interspersed between the drip phases to signal legitimate sending behaviour to email service providers. The progressive volume escalation mimics the natural sending pattern of a healthy, established email domain.

The value

A new email domain that immediately blasts hundreds of contacts will be flagged as spam — destroying deliverability before the first real campaign even launches. This automation solves that entirely by systematically warming the domain through a controlled, escalating send volume that builds sender reputation with email providers over time. Better deliverability means more emails land in inboxes rather than spam folders — directly impacting open rates, click rates, and ultimately revenue from every email campaign the client ever sends.

Where it fits

This is a foundational infrastructure automation that every new client needs before their email marketing can perform effectively. It's invisible to the end recipient but critical to the success of every other email automation in the system. For clients who have struggled with low open rates, poor email performance, or spam folder issues, this automation is the fix — and it runs automatically once activated. In sales and onboarding conversations, this is a strong trust-builder: it demonstrates that the platform doesn't just send emails, it protects the client's ability to send emails effectively for the long term

Overall purpose

This workflow is a long-term email warm-up sequence designed to gradually increase email sending volume while nurturing contacts over several weeks. It begins when a contact receives the "email warm-up" tag, uses drip mode to throttle outbound email volume, and sends twelve personalized emails with progressively longer delays between sends.
