Who This Is For / When to Use
Use this process if you want to:
Email leads sourced from Lead Finder
Add new leads into an automation safely
Warm up sending domains and inboxes
Avoid account or email delivery issues
Best Practice: Use Drip Mode
Leads from Lead Finder should always be added to automations using Drip Mode.
Why this matters:
Prevents sudden spikes in email volume
Reduces the risk of email provider blocks
Supports healthy inbox and domain reputation
Drip Mode sends emails gradually instead of all at once.
Step 1: Select Leads in Lead Finder
Open Lead Finder.
Locate the leads you want to email.
Select:
Individual leads, or
Select All to include all visible leads.
This selection determines which leads are added to the automation.
Step 2: Add Leads to an Automation in Drip Mode
Click Bulk Actions.
Select Add to Campaign.
Choose the automation you want to enroll the leads into.
Enable Drip Mode.
Drip Mode controls how many leads enter the automation per day.
Step 3: Configure Email Warm-Up Settings
To protect email deliverability, follow this recommended ramp-up schedule.
Recommended sending limits:
Week 1: Add 10 leads per day
Week 2: Add 20 leads per day
Week 3: Add 30 leads per day
Continue increasing gradually each week
This slow increase helps “warm up” your sending inbox.
Step 4: Set Sending Days and Times
Select which days of the week emails should send.
Choose the time window for email delivery.
Spacing emails across business hours improves engagement and deliverability.

FAQ
Why should I use Drip Mode instead of adding all leads at once?
Drip Mode prevents sudden email spikes that can trigger spam filters or account restrictions.
Can I add more than 10 leads per day?
Yes, but only after warming up gradually. Start with 10 leads per day and increase weekly.
Can I choose which days emails are sent?
Yes. You can select specific sending days and times during setup.
Does this apply only to Lead Finder leads?
This is especially important for Lead Finder leads, but Drip Mode is recommended for all cold or newly added leads.
