How to Send an Email in Drip Mode (Batches)

Send an email campaign in timed batches instead of all at once, so your phone and inbox don't get swamped.

Drip mode sends your email in batches over time instead of to everyone at once. It's useful when a big send would flood your phone with replies or calls, or send a rush of traffic to your website.

  1. Go to Marketing > Emails > Campaigns and click + New.
  2. Pick a template and build your email.
  3. Click Send or Schedule, then choose Batch Schedule.
  4. Set the start date.
  5. Set the batch quantity, which is how many contacts get it each round.
  6. Set the repeat interval, like every 1 day or every 2 hours.
  7. Uncheck any days you don't want it to send, and set start and end times if you want.
  8. Fill in the sender, subject line, preview text, and recipients.
  9. Click Review and Schedule.

Here's an example. With 1,000 contacts, a batch of 100, and a one-day interval, the last batch goes out on day 10.

Before you schedule it, double-check the date, time, and time zone. Your sending domain needs to be set up first. See Which Domain Is for What.
