AutoWarm Case Study: From Zero to Inbox in 14 Days

Can a brand-new domain really start landing in inboxes within just two weeks? We ran a test with AutoWarm to find out — and the results speak for themselves.

🎯 The Challenge

A startup client purchased a brand-new domain. Like most fresh domains:

• Gmail and Outlook treated it as suspicious.
• First cold outreach attempts went straight to spam.
• Engagement was near zero.

⚙️ The Setup

Using AutoWarm, we configured:

• Starting volume: 5 emails/day.
• Ramp rate: +5 emails/day.
• Reply rate: 30%.
• Sending window: 9 AM – 5 PM.
• AI replies enabled: to simulate human-like conversations.

📊 The 14-Day Results

• Day 1–3:
• 15–20 emails/day sent.
• Inbox placement: ~40%.
• Spam rate: ~50%.
• Day 7:
• 35–40 emails/day.
• Inbox placement: 70%.
• Spam rate: <20%.
• Day 14:
• 60+ emails/day.
• Inbox placement: 92%.
• Spam rate: <5%.
• Domain health score: 85/100.

The domain went from zero reputation to inbox-ready in just 14 days.

📈 Why It Worked

1. Gradual ramp-up built trust without triggering filters.
2. AI-driven replies simulated real engagement.
3. Time-window sending avoided unnatural spikes.
4. Ongoing monitoring flagged spam hits early.

🚀 Final Takeaway

Warm-up isn’t theory. It’s a measurable, data-driven process. With the right setup, even a brand-new domain can earn inbox placement in as little as two weeks.

AutoWarm automates everything — from sending and replying to monitoring domain health — so you can focus on growth, not firefighting deliverability issues.
