Warm-up

A new or long-unused Gmail account that suddenly sends hundreds of emails a day looks like spam to Google and to the receiving servers. Warm-up sends a few clearly labelled emails a day to inboxes you control, growing over 30 sending days, and caps your campaigns from that account meanwhile.

What it needsCopy Anchor Link

• The Gmail connected in Pedibee.
• 3 to 50 inboxes you control (colleagues, other accounts of yours). They receive the warm-up emails. Ask their owners to open the emails and, if one lands in spam, move it to the inbox: that's what teaches the filters.

Start a warm-upCopy Anchor Link

1. Open Warm-up and pick the Gmail.
2. Add the inboxes one at a time. They're kept for later warm-ups of the same account.
3. Choose the schedule: which days and hours it may send, in your time zone (the default is every day, 09:00 to 21:00; at least an hour a day).
4. Click Start. The first email goes out at once if the window is open.

Each warm-up email has the subject "Warm-up message", names the Gmail being warmed up, and asks the reader to open it and rescue it from spam if needed. They're never tracked.

The scheduleCopy Anchor Link

Emails are spread across the rest of the day's window, at least 5 minutes apart, rotating through your inboxes. Days are counted only when the warm-up sends, so pausing stops the clock. After 30 sending days it finishes.

While it runsCopy Anchor Link

Campaigns and sequences from that Gmail are capped: a small allowance on day one that grows with the warm-up. The Warm-up page and the dashboard show today's numbers. The warm-up emails count towards the account's daily limit like any other email.

You can pause (the day count stops), resume, change the schedule, add inboxes, or stop at any time. A running warm-up can't drop below 3 inboxes.
