Email Warm-up Planner

A new sending domain earns its reputation one day at a time. Generate a day-by-day warm-up schedule — volumes, segment order, hold days and the checkpoints that keep you out of spam.

From the Lifecycle & Demand Generation toolset.

01 — Your ramp

Choose standard for: new domain with a clean, engaged list — the default.

The gates — check before every increase

  • Spam complaints under 0.1% (Google Postmaster Tools) — pause growth for 3 days if exceeded.
  • Bounce rate under 2% — above it, stop and clean the list before continuing.
  • Open/click holding steady — a falling trend during ramp means inbox placement is slipping.
  • Hold days are deliberate — one flat day per week lets provider reputation models catch up.

Why engagement order matters more than the numbers

Reputation is built from how recipients treat your first sends, so the ramp always starts with the people most likely to open: 30-day openers first, then 90-day engaged, then the full engaged list. Sending the cold tail during warm-up is the most common way teams burn a fresh domain in week two.
