This article explains how to automatically relaunch your email campaigns by resending the same content to contacts who did not open your initial message. This feature helps maximize engagement while minimizing complaints and unsubscribes.

Objectives

  • Increase engagement: Give your recipients a second chance to read your emails.

  • Reduce complaints: Limit the number of resends to avoid overwhelming your contacts.

Key points before resending an email

  • Resend window:

    • Resends must be made between 12 hours and 10 days after the initial send.

    • Adhering to this timeframe ensures an optimal balance between engagement and the risk of unsubscribes or complaints.

  • Technical restrictions:

    • Resending is not available for batch-scheduled campaigns, RSS campaigns, and A/B tests in this version.

    • It is not currently possible to reschedule a resent email; you must delete the send and reschedule it if necessary.

  • Subject line modification:

    • Adapt the subject line of the email to make it more eye-catching and avoid repetition.

  • Resend frequency:

    • Resend the email only once to avoid disturbing your recipients.

    • No resending of the resend 😅
