Sparkle-powered Best Practices

  • Keep warmup ON permanently for optimal deliverability
  • Avoid salesy templates. Short, plain, human emails work best
  • Use 2–3 follow-ups spaced 2–4 days apart
  • Verify every list with an email verifier before sending
  • No attachments, no heavy links, avoid anything promotional
  • Keep sending hours human: 9 AM–4 PM in target time zones

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the product and billing.

For most warmed inboxes, stay in the 20 to 30 emails per mailbox per day range for cold outreach. If you are using a brand-new domain or inbox, start much lower and ramp up gradually. If you see a drop in real opens, replies, or inbox placement, reduce volume and fix list quality plus authentication before increasing again.

Yes, if you want stable performance at scale. Backup inboxes let you rotate volume without pushing one mailbox too hard, and they give you a safety net if an inbox gets restricted or starts underperforming. A practical rule is to keep about 20 to 25 percent of your sending inboxes as warmed backups.

Plan for about 21 days for a proper warm-up on the new inboxes. Warmup builds consistent sending behaviour, improves engagement signals, and helps inboxes earn a reliable reputation. After the warmup window, increase volume in small steps while watching replies, bounces, and inbox placement.

No. Keep warm-up running, even after campaigns start. Continuous warmup helps maintain steady activity patterns and protects reputation, especially when your real campaign volume fluctuates. If you pause warmup, inboxes can cool down, and performance can drop when you ramp again.

Yes. It works for agencies and internal teams because it plans infrastructure based on volume, not headcount. You can model multiple clients or multiple outbound reps by adjusting daily volume, inbox limits, and inboxes per domain. For agencies, keep separate domain and inbox groups per client to reduce cross-risk and keep reporting clean.
