1. Hostile Prospects AI Filtering ๐Ÿค–

Our AI can now identify contacts more likely to report emails as spam or respond negatively.

This feature allows you to:

- Exclude these leads from your campaigns or send to them last
- Reduce negative signals for improved deliverability

2. Unlikely to Reply AI Filtering ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™‚๏ธ

Using data from millions of emails, our AI flags leads less likely to respond. This feature will allow you to:

- Again, exclude these leads from your campaigns or send to them last
- Focus on more promising prospects
- Improve overall campaign efficiency

3. ESP Routing ๐Ÿšฆ

Gain greater control over email routing with customizable rules. For example:

- Exclude specific recipient ESPs
- Send only between certain ESP combinations, such as Outlook-to-Outlook

This feature provides flexibility to align sending strategies with ESP-specific dynamics.

4. Always send the first email as text-only ๐Ÿ“จ

You can now send the first email of any sequence as plain text, enhancing inbox placement. You can send richer content in the follow ups.
