Step 3: Connect Your Email Provider
Next, connect the email address you want to warm up. This address can be different from the one you used to create your lemwarm account. You can easily connect your email provider by following this guide.
Step 4: Adjust lemwarm numbers
To adjust lemwarm numbers, you should navigate to the Warmup section on the left side of the dashboard. From there, you can configure the values for you and rest of your teammates.
Now, you are wandering what do those number means. Let's jump to the explanation
➡️ Warm up (number of warm-up email/day after ramp-up)
This is the maximum number of emails lemwarm will send each day after the warm-up process is complete. Once this limit is reached, no more emails will be sent for that day.
For email accounts less than 6 months old, the recommended daily limit is 30 emails.
For email accounts older than 6 months, the daily limit should be set to 40 emails.
➡️ Ramp-Up Increment (the number of additional warm-up emails send daily)
This value determines how many additional emails will be sent each day during the warm-up process. The goal is to gradually increase the number of warm-up emails until you reach your set daily limit.
For email accounts less than 6 months old, the recommended increment is 1 email per day.
For email accounts older than 6 months, the increment should be 2 emails per day.
Example: If you set the ramp-up increment to 2, here’s how it will work:
Day 1: lemwarm sends 2 emails
Day 2: lemwarm sends 4 emails
Day 3: lemwarm sends 6 emails
This process continues until the daily limit of 40 emails is reached.
Typically, your email account will be fully warmed up within 3 to 5 weeks.
Step 5: Start lemwarm
Click the “Start” button to allow lemwarm to send custom emails and replies on your behalf.
You can do it from the Warm-up section
or directly from the Dashboard by clicking on the Start button
In case you are not able to start the lemwarm, make sure to check the DNS section and to see if you have set up MX records, SPF, DKIM, DMARC and Custom tracking domain.
Now that you have started the lemwarm, you now sit back and monitor the process. No need to do anything from your side, as the lemwarm will send and reply to the emails ✨
These emails will resemble real ones, but you’ll recognize them by the keyword "lemwarmup" in the subject line. All lemwarm users are sending these emails to one another, simultaneously helping each other in the warm-up process.
As you'll be receiving lemwarm emails from other users, you don't want your lemwarm emails to mix up with the rest of your emails.
This is easy:
➡️ Go to your email account
➡️ Create a filter dedicated to emails with "lemwarmup" as a subject
➡️ And click the 3 boxes as below:
Here's a preview for Outlook accounts:
If you’re using any other email provider, make sure your filters are set to:
✅ Skip the inbox/Move to archive
✅ Mark as important
✅ Never send to spam
🆙 Smart Cluster feature
This feature enables you to send automated, highly personalized emails directly from your inbox, tailored to your audience and email goals. Each message and subject line is crafted based on the information you provide in the smart cluster questionnaire.
Why is this important?
Email providers evaluate the content you send, so exchanging emails relevant to your business enhances your sending reputation and boosts deliverability results.
You’ll be assigned to a specific email cluster based on your industry, audience, and email goals. This helps boost your sender reputation and makes a positive impression on your email provider, increasing your deliverability and the likelihood of landing in the primary inbox.
📶 Analyze your reports
In your dashboard you will have access to:
Your deliverability score and tips for improvement.
Detailed reports, including total lemwarm emails sent.
A full overview of where your emails and replies are landing.
These insights help you optimize your deliverability, ensuring your emails reach the inbox.
You can monitor your deliverability score at any time directly from your dashboard, along with helpful lemwarm tips.
The score is calculated based on several factors, including:
DNS configuration (e.g., MX, SPF, DMARC)
Spam rate
Number of emails previously sent
Age of the mailbox
Your deliverability score will fall into one of three stages, depending on your email health:
Red: This indicates potential blacklisting or incorrect technical setup. Avoid sending email campaigns at this stage, as they are likely to end up in spam.
Orange: At this stage, your email address is warming up, and fewer emails are landing in spam. However, it's best to wait until you reach the green stage before sending campaigns.
Green: This is the optimal stage to start sending emails. Ensure your warm-up and deliverability booster are active before, during, and after sending campaigns to maintain high deliverability.
Your score will help you determine whether it’s safe to begin sending campaigns.
You can also access a detailed report showing the total number of lemwarm emails sent, including:
