What is Smart Sending?<\/b><\/h2>

Smart Sending<\/b> is a feature that helps you send emails at the <\/span>best possible time for each recipient<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>

Instead of delivering your campaign to everyone at the same moment, Smart Sending spreads delivery over a <\/span>24-hour period<\/b>. Each person receives your email when they’re most likely to open it—based on their past behavior.<\/span><\/p>

Why use Smart Sending?<\/b><\/h2>

Not all recipients check their emails at the same time. Some open emails in the morning, others in the evening.<\/span><\/p>

Smart Sending helps you:<\/span><\/p>

    \n
  • Increase open rates<\/b> – emails arrive when people are more likely to engage<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Reach your audience at the right moment<\/b><\/li>\n
  • Improve campaign performance automatically<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>

    How does Smart Sending work?<\/b><\/h2>

    Here’s what happens behind the scenes:<\/span><\/p>

    1. You schedule your campaign<\/b><\/h3>

    You choose a date and time to send your email (at least 15 minutes in advance).<\/span><\/p>

    2. We analyze recipient behavior<\/b><\/h3>

    For each contact, we look at their past activity—specifically when they opened your previous emails.<\/span><\/p>

    3. We calculate the best time<\/b><\/h3>

    We combine:<\/span><\/p>

      \n
    • Their personal open history<\/span><\/li>\n
    • General email engagement trends (like common peak hours)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>

      4. Emails are sent at optimal times<\/b><\/h3>

      Each recipient gets your email at their <\/span>individual best time<\/span><\/i> within a <\/span>24-hour window<\/b> starting from your scheduled time.<\/span><\/p>

      5. No data? No problem<\/b><\/h3>

      If a contact has no previous open history, they’ll receive the email at your original scheduled time.<\/span><\/p>

      How to enable Smart Sending<\/b><\/h2>
        \n
      1. Go to your campaign setup<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. Navigate to <\/span>Summary step<\/b><\/li>\n
      3. Select your desired date and time<\/span><\/li>\n
      4. Toggle <\/span>Smart Sending<\/b> ON (enabled by default)<\/span>
        \n\"\"
        \n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>
        Note: Smart sending is a premium feature under paid Reach plans.<\/span>
        \n<\/span><\/div>

         <\/span><\/p>

        What to expect after scheduling<\/b><\/h2>

        Before sending<\/b><\/h3>
          \n
        • Your campaign status will show as <\/span>Scheduled<\/b><\/li>\n
        • Smart sending will automatically be used at the scheduled time<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>

          \"\"<\/p>

          During sending (up to 24 hours)<\/b><\/h3>
            \n
          • Your campaign status will show as <\/span>Sending<\/b><\/li>\n
          • Emails are delivered gradually—not all at once<\/span><\/li>\n
          • The recipient list updates over time as emails are sent<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>

            After completion<\/b><\/h3>
              \n
            • The campaign status changes to <\/span>Sent<\/b><\/li>\n
            • All emails have been delivered<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>

              When should you use Smart Sending?<\/b><\/h2>

              Smart Sending is ideal when you:<\/span><\/p>

                \n
              • Have a large or global audience<\/span><\/li>\n
              • Want to maximize engagement<\/span><\/li>\n
              • Don’t know the “perfect” send time<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>

                If <\/span>exact<\/b> timing<\/b> matters for a specific event (e.g., a flash sale starting at a fixed hour), you may prefer to turn it OFF.<\/span><\/p>

                Summary<\/b><\/h2>

                Smart Sending takes the guesswork out of email timing. Instead of choosing one send time for everyone, it automatically delivers your campaign when each recipient is most likely to engage—helping you get better results with less effort.<\/span><\/p>
