Getting started with Email Accounts

Updated yesterday

The Email Accounts dashboard allows you to connect and warm up your email accounts.

  • Free trial users can connect up to 2 email accounts. After the 14-day free trial expires, the accounts and warm-up will be paused automatically.

  • With an active Email Outreach plan, you can connect unlimited email accounts.


Connect email accounts

You can click 'Add new' to purchase new domains and accounts or connect your existing email accounts.

  • Pre-warmed accounts: This option allows you to purchase already warmed-up domains and email accounts from Instantly with essential DNS records configured, allowing you to start sending campaigns from day 1.

  • Done-For-You email setup: This option allows you to purchase new domains and email accounts from Instantly, and we will automate the DNS configuration. However, DFY accounts require a warm-up period of at least 2 weeks before you can start campaigns to improve deliverability.

  • Connect existing accounts: This option allows you to connect your existing email accounts from Google, Microsoft, or other providers. It's recommended to warm up your accounts for at least 2 weeks before launching your campaigns to improve deliverability.


Test domain setup

You can click the Test domain setup option to verify if your DNS records are set up properly. Learn how to set up the DNS records here.

  • MX Record: MX record is known for directing emails to you. Without an MX Record, you won't be able to receive replies.

  • SPF record: SPF record specifies authorized domains to send emails. It helps reduce spam and phishing attempts and improves your email deliverability.

  • DKIM record: DKIM adds a signature to emails, making them easier to trace and preventing spoofing.

  • DMARC record: DMARC authenticates emails, letting the world know they were sent from a legitimate source.


Enable warm-up
