What Shipped
Sending an email now offers four options instead of two. Alongside Send now and Schedule, you can choose Intelligent send, which delivers inside time windows you pick, or Gradual send, which ramps daily volume to warm up a new or low-volume domain. Gradual send is also available when you launch a manual-audience Automation run. For the full walkthrough of each option, see the new Send Options guide.The Four Options
- Send now: the email goes out right away.
- Schedule: pick a date and time, and Brew sends automatically when it arrives.
- Intelligent send: pick one or more time windows, and Brew delivers within them.
- Gradual send: pick a starting volume and a daily increment, and Brew ramps up delivery day by day.
Scheduled Sends
Pick a date and time, and Brew sends automatically when it arrives. Choosing Schedule reveals the date and time picker right in the send panel.
Intelligent Send
Instead of a single moment, you choose delivery windows. Pick a preset like Morning commute, Lunch break, or Post-work, or set your own window on the timeline, for example 09:00 to 11:00. Add window lets you set more than one, and recipients are spread across your windows. Windows follow the timezone you pick in the Times in selector, and any window that has already passed today delivers tomorrow instead. Intelligent send also includes a Per-recipient intelligence toggle. Turn it on and Brew sends to each contact at their usual open time. Contacts without enough open history use your windows.Gradual Send
Gradual send ramps up daily sending volume instead of delivering to the whole audience at once. It’s built for warming up a domain, whether it’s newly verified or has been sending at low volume, and it works for regular marketing and customer sends, not just dedicated warmup campaigns. You control the ramp:- Start: begin right away or schedule the ramp to start at a date and time.
- Starting volume: how many emails go out on day one. Brew recommends 50.
- Increment: how much the daily volume grows. The recommended 1.25x grows volume 25% each day.
- Safety threshold: when Brew should pause the send. The recommended Balanced threshold pauses if bounces exceed 3% or complaints exceed 0.07%, and you get an alert if sending pauses.
Launching an Automation
Launching a manual-audience automation run now goes through a similar picker with three options: Run now, Schedule, and Gradual send. Intelligent send isn’t offered for automation runs; timing inside a flow comes from its Wait steps.
