AI Warmup trades real-looking mail with a pool of mailboxes, a health score watches every one, and campaigns step away from a mailbox the moment it slips.
Warm, write, watch, check, react. Each one is a page in the app.
Warm
A pool of mailboxes that talk to each other
Your mailboxes send to and reply to mailboxes in the warmup pool. Anything that lands in spam is moved to the inbox, marked read and answered, which teaches providers that your mail is wanted.
Weekdays only, if you prefer
Reply rate up to 45%
Received warmup emails are cleaned up afterwards
Write
Warmup emails that sound like your business
Answer a few questions once and the AI writer drafts warmup emails about the things you really email about, for every mailbox. Or use your own templates, or mix both with the built-in library.

Watch
Health that pauses campaigns, not warmup
Health starts at 100 and loses a point for each warmup email that lands in spam over the last 14 days, plus a penalty when campaign bounces climb. Below your limit, campaigns stop using the mailbox. Warmup keeps going until it recovers.
Limit from 70 to 100, 90 by default
Resume automatically, or by hand

Placement by provider, from real engagement
Inbox placement compares how many people still engage at Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and others against each provider's own baseline. When one collapses, it tells you what to do.

Spam landings
One point for each warmup email that landed in spam in the last 14 days. Old landings drop out, so a mailbox can recover.
Bounce penalty
From campaign bounces, once a mailbox has sent 50 emails.

FAQ
Questions, answered
The six things people ask us most, in short answers.
Does warmup cost credits?
No. Warmup is free and unlimited on every plan, AI written warmup emails included. Credits are spent on campaign email, AI writing, ZicAgent on our model and contact data.
How long until a mailbox is ready?
Three weeks. It shows as Warming up from day 7, Almost warmed up from day 10 and Warmed up from day 21.
How is health calculated?
100 minus one point per warmup email that landed in spam in the last 14 days, minus a bounce penalty that starts above 1% bounces and is capped at 60.
What happens when health drops?
Below your limit (90 by default, 70 at the lowest) campaigns stop sending from that mailbox. Warmup continues, and sending resumes on its own above 90 unless you chose to resume by hand.
Do I need seed lists for placement?
No. Placement is read from engagement: who is still opening and replying at each provider, against that provider's usual level.
Do I set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC myself?
You add the records where your domain is hosted, and ZicReach tells you exactly what to add. Domain checks mark each record Pass, Warning or Missing, with the value that fixes it.
