How to Enable and Configure Warmup in Reachkit
Inbox Warmup
This guide will walk you through the process of enabling and configuring the automated inbox warmup feature in Reachkit.
Enabling Warmup for Your Inbox
- Navigate to the Inboxes section in the left sidebar
- Click on the inbox you want to warm up
- In the inbox detail view, locate the Warmup Status toggle
- Switch the toggle to Enabled
- Your inbox will immediately begin the warming process with default settings
Configuring Your Warmup Settings
To access and modify warmup settings:
- While viewing your inbox, click the Settings tab
- Scroll to the Warmup Settings section
- Here you can adjust the following parameters:
Available Warmup Settings
Setting | Default | Description |
---|---|---|
Daily warmup limit | 10 | Maximum number of warmup emails sent per day |
Increase per day | 2 | How many additional emails to add each day |
Reply rate target % | 30 | Target percentage of warmup emails that receive replies |
Understanding the Warmup Dashboard
To monitor your warmup progress:
- Select your inbox from the Inboxes section
- The Overview tab shows your warmup performance
-
Key metrics include:
- Health Score: Overall assessment of your inbox reputation
- Emails Sent: Total warmup emails sent
- Spam Rate: Percentage of emails that landed in spam
- Ramp-up Progress: Progress toward your daily sending limit
The Ramp-up Bar Explained
The ramp-up progress bar shows how far you’ve progressed toward your configured daily warmup limit. This is determined by:
- Your daily increase setting
- How long the inbox has been warming
- Your maximum daily limit
Important Note: The ramp-up progress is not the same as overall warmup progress. It simply shows progress toward your daily sending limit goal.
Best Practices for Warmup Success
- Be Patient: Allow at least 3 weeks of warmup before sending actual cold emails
- Start Slow: The default settings work well for most users
- Keep It Consistent: Don’t pause warmup during weekends or holidays
- Monitor Health Score: A declining score may indicate adjustments are needed
When to Modify Default Settings
Consider adjusting your default settings if:
- You’re warming up an older, established account (faster ramp-up possible)
- You notice declining health scores (slower ramp-up recommended)
Remember that warmup is an ongoing process. Even after you begin sending campaigns, keeping warmup enabled helps maintain your sender reputation over time.
