Your brand-new sending domain just landed in spam. Again.

Automated warmup builds your sender reputation gradually — real conversations, controlled volume increases, health scoring that catches problems before they tank your deliverability.

No credit card required. Domains start warming on day one.

Here's what happens when you skip warmup — and why most people get it wrong

New domains have zero reputation. Email providers treat them like strangers at the door.

Without warmup
  • Fresh domain, zero sending history — Gmail doesn't trust you
  • First campaign goes straight to spam, you don't even know
  • Bounce rate spikes, domain gets flagged within a week
  • You buy another domain, repeat the same mistake
  • No visibility — you can't fix what you can't measure
  • Manual warmup means sending 5 emails a day from your phone for weeks
With automated warmup
  • Warmup starts day one — real conversations build reputation gradually
  • Volume ramps automatically: 2 emails/day → 50/day over weeks
  • Health score tracks deliverability in real time — you see problems early
  • Bounce rate exceeds 5%? Domain auto-rests before damage spreads
  • Domains rotate between active, warming, and resting states
  • One dashboard shows every domain's health — no guesswork

Here's exactly how the warmup process works

From new domain to inbox-ready in three steps.

Connect your domains. The system handles volume ramp-up, engagement, and monitoring automatically.

1
Connect Your Domains

Add your sending accounts — SMTP credentials for each domain. The system validates credentials and begins warming immediately. Support for custom domains, Azure communication services, and standard email providers.

2
Automatic Volume Ramp

Warmup starts at 2 emails per day and increments gradually. The system sends real warmup conversations through established networks — opens, replies, and engagement that tell email providers your domain is legitimate. Target reply rates of 60% build trust fast.

3
Monitor & Protect

Health scores update continuously. If bounce rates climb above 5%, the domain auto-rests for 7 days before damage spreads. Warmup and cold sending run in parallel — the system adjusts daily limits based on real-time health data.

How warmup volume ramps over time
Week 1 Week 4 Week 8+

Week 1-2: 2-8 emails/day

Week 3-4: 12-30 emails/day

Week 5+: 50 emails/day (full capacity)

60% reply rate maintained throughout ramp

Here's what's happening under the hood to protect your reputation

The deliverability details that keep you in the inbox.

Email warmup is simple in concept. Getting it right requires tracking dozens of signals simultaneously. The system does that for you.

Automated Health Scoring

Each domain gets a health score from 0 to 100, calculated from bounce rate and sending history. Healthy is 70+. Below that, the system takes action — reducing daily limits or resting the domain entirely. You see the score update in real time, not after the damage is done.

Auto-Rest When Bounce Rate Spikes

When a domain's bounce rate crosses 5%, the system automatically puts it in a rest state. No more emails go out from that domain for 7 days. This prevents a single bad batch from burning a domain that took weeks to warm up. Domains move through clear states: warming → active → resting → active.

Gradual Volume Ramp with Real Engagement

Warmup starts at 2 emails per day and increments by 1 each cycle. Every warmup email gets real opens and replies from an established network — not fake engagement that email providers can detect. A 60% reply rate tells Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo that your domain sends mail people want to read.

Warmup + Cold Sending in Parallel

You don't have to choose between warming and sending. The system runs both simultaneously on the same accounts. Warmup emails maintain engagement signals while cold emails go to real prospects. Daily limits are split automatically — warmup gets priority, cold email gets the remaining capacity. When health dips, cold volume reduces first to protect the domain.

Bounce Detection with 14+ Pattern Matchers

Bounces aren't always obvious. The system checks every incoming message against 14+ subject patterns — "Delivery Notification," "Undeliverable," "Mail delivery failed," and more. When a bounce is detected, the contact is suppressed globally and the bounce is counted toward the domain's health score. No manual review needed. The system catches what you'd miss.

Protect Your Sender Reputation

Warmup starts the day you sign up.

How does this compare to Instantly, Smartlead, and Warmbox?

Honest comparison: warmup tools don't track what matters.

Most warmup tools tell you your emails are being sent. They don't tell you whether your domain is actually healthy.

Standalone warmup tools charge $15-97/month and only tell you if warmup emails are being exchanged. They can't tell you whether your domain is actually building reputation, because they don't see your real sending data. This platform does — warmup and cold email share the same database, so health scores reflect reality.

Still not sure? Zero risk to find out.

Why I built this

I burned through 6 domains in my first year of cold email. Not because my emails were bad — because I had no idea my deliverability was tanking until it was too late.

The warmup tools I was paying for said everything looked fine. Green lights across the board. But those tools only tracked warmup emails — they had no visibility into my actual cold sending volume, bounce rates, or domain health. By the time I realized something was wrong, Gmail had already flagged my domains.

I needed a system that tracked the full picture. Warmup engagement and cold sending bounces, in the same database, updating the same health score. When the bounce rate ticked up, the system should react — not wait for me to check a dashboard three days later.

That's what this is. Warmup, health scoring, auto-rest, and cold email — sharing one database. Your domains get protected automatically, because the system sees everything, not just the warmup half.

Common questions

Most domains reach full sending capacity in 4-6 weeks. The system starts at 2 warmup emails per day and increments gradually while maintaining a 60% reply rate. Rushing the process defeats the purpose — email providers need to see consistent, legitimate engagement over time. The good news is you can start low-volume cold sending in parallel while warmup builds your reputation.

Yes. Warmup isn't just for new domains — it's ongoing maintenance for existing ones. If you've been sending cold email and your reply rates are dropping, adding warmup alongside your campaigns rebuilds engagement signals. The system tracks health for every domain regardless of age, so you'll see exactly where each one stands.

Warmup score measures engagement on warmup emails only — opens and replies within the warmup network. Health score measures your domain's overall deliverability, calculated from bounce rate across all sending (warmup and cold). A domain can have a great warmup score but a terrible health score if your cold emails are bouncing. Most standalone warmup tools only show warmup score, which gives you false confidence.

All sending stops from that domain — both warmup and cold email. The domain sits for 7 days, letting its reputation cool off. During rest, your other domains pick up the volume. After the rest period, the domain returns to a warming state and gradually ramps back up. This prevents the common mistake of pushing a struggling domain harder and making things worse.

No artificial limit. Most cold emailers run 5-15 domains simultaneously — some warming, some active, some resting. The system manages all of them from one dashboard. The optimal setup keeps enough domains in rotation so that when one rests, others are ready to carry the volume.

No. Warmup is built into the platform alongside cold email sending. This is actually the point — a separate warmup tool can't see your cold sending data, so it can't calculate real health scores. Here, everything is in one database. Warmup engagement, cold email bounces, and domain health all update from the same source of truth.

If you're using external cold email tools, you can still connect your domains here for warmup and health monitoring. But the full value comes from running warmup and cold sending in the same system — that's what gives you accurate health scores and automatic protection. The platform includes a full cold email engine with multi-step sequences, A/B testing, and reply detection.

Every email that lands in spam is a conversation that never happens.
