Introduction
Inbox monitoring helps you understand what happens to your commercial emails after they are sent to recipients at different mailbox providers. It provides visibility into whether messages arrive in the inbox, are filtered as spam, or fail to appear at all.
By using seedlist-based inbox monitoring, you gain a reliable data point to evaluate deliverability, rendering, and overall user experience before a sendout, helping protect ROI and reduce performance risks.
Common Use Cases
Inbox monitoring is typically used to:
Test the deliverability of an email message before sending it to real recipients
Check inbox placement across platforms and internet service providers (ISPs)
Assign higher or lower priorities to specific seedlists
Validate inbox placement for selected regions or ISPs
Inbox Monitoring Tests and Feedback
Inbox monitoring is performed using seedlists that represent different mailbox providers, platforms, regions, and ISPs. Running a test before every sendout helps ensure that both the email content and the sendout settings are optimized.
An inbox monitoring test takes only a few minutes and provides concrete feedback that can be used to:
Identify inbox placement issues at specific mailbox providers
Detect potential spam filtering problems
Optimize email rendering across platforms
Improve deliverability and overall user experience before the actual sendout
This feedback allows you to adjust messages and settings early, reducing the risk of lost messages or degraded campaign performance.
