Deliverability problems usually come from a mix of sender setup, list quality, content, and recipient engagement. Work through the basics before sending more email.

What this guide helps you do

• Check sender and domain readiness.
• Review Audience quality, bounces, and skips.
• Use delivery reports to decide the next safe action.

Before you start

• Know which broadcast, journey, or newsletter has the issue.
• Have access to sender settings and delivery reports.
• Avoid sending repeated tests to the same poor-quality list.

Do it manually

1. Open Engagement delivery reports for the affected send.
2. Check bounce, skip, unsubscribe, open, and click patterns.
3. Review sender mailbox or domain setup.
4. Inspect Audience quality, missing emails, old lists, and unsubscribed contacts.
5. Review content for broken links, misleading subject lines, or spammy formatting.
6. Make one improvement at a time and test with a safe smaller Audience.

Ask Faster AI

• Review this campaign delivery report and identify likely deliverability issues.
• Check whether sender setup, Audience quality, or content is the biggest risk before we send again.
• Create a cleanup plan for bounced and inactive contacts.

Review before saving, sending, or starting

• Do not blast a larger list to compensate for low engagement.
• Respect suppression and unsubscribe signals.
• Keep deliverability diagnosis internal; do not expose technical detail to customers.

Common issues and fixes

• If sender setup is incomplete, fix it before sending more.
• If bounces are high, clean email data and avoid retrying bad addresses.
• If engagement is low, narrow the Audience and improve the offer or message clarity.

After you review delivery data

• Look for patterns across bounces, skips, clicks, replies, and unsubscribes instead of reacting to one number alone.
• Open the customer records behind important events so follow-up is grounded in real context.
• Create cleanup tasks for bad addresses, risky lists, missing consent, or unclear ownership.
• Use the findings to improve the next Audience, broadcast, journey, newsletter, or sequence before sending again.
