Smart Send
If you’re on the Business or Enterprise Plan, use Smart Send to send your message at the optimal time!
Just look for the Smart Send button, which replaces the Send Later option, if we have a recommendation for you.
Our recommendation engine looks at when your recipient is usually active, based on past email activity and their time zone, to suggest the best time to send. This ensures your message lands when they’re most likely to see it.
If there are multiple recipients on an email, we will show optimal times for all recipients for whom we have data. From there, you can choose to schedule for the recipient you want to optimize.
With Read Statuses and Smart Send, you’ll always know when your message has landed—and ensure it’s delivered at the perfect moment.
