Smart Sending is a feature that allows you to set a time limit (for example, 8 hours or 24 hours) within which a subscriber will not receive more than one email from you. This feature helps prevent your subscribers from receiving too many emails in a short period, ensuring you don’t overwhelm them with multiple emails.
Smart Sending helps you avoid sending too many emails to your subscribers in a short period. It ensures that they don’t feel overwhelmed or annoyed. By limiting email frequency, you improve engagement, reduce unsubscribes, and increase the chances of your emails being opened.
This leads to a better experience for your customers and improves your email deliverability. In simple terms, Smart Sending helps you stay connected without overdoing it.
