Email Placement Test: Email Recovery Automation

Email Recovery Automation continuously monitors the results of your Email Placement Tests and automatically takes action when deliverability issues are detected.

For example, if inbox placement drops below your defined threshold, PlusVibe can:

This helps prevent further reputation damage and gives inboxes time to recover before resuming normal sending activity.

The trigger defines when the automation should activate.

Currently, you can trigger automation based on:

Uses the result of the most recent placement test.

Best for users who want the fastest response to deliverability issues.

Uses the average inbox placement rate across the last two tests.

Helps reduce false alarms caused by a single poor test and is recommended for most users.

Uses the average inbox placement rate across the last three tests.

Provides the most stable measurement and helps avoid triggering recovery actions due to temporary fluctuations.

The threshold percentage can be configured manually to determine when the automation should trigger.

For example, if the threshold is set to 70%, the automation will activate whenever the selected inbox rate metric falls below 70%.

The recovery phase determines what actions PlusVibe should take once the trigger condition is met.

Example settings:

During the recovery period, PlusVibe applies these temporary settings to help stabilize inbox reputation.

You can define how long the recovery phase should remain active.

Example:

Recovery lasts 1 day

After the recovery period ends, PlusVibe will move to the post-recovery settings you selected.

Restores the inbox settings that existed before recovery started.

This includes:

This option is ideal when you want inboxes to automatically return to their previous configuration after recovery.

Instead of restoring previous settings, you can define a new set of campaign and warm-up settings that should be applied once recovery completes.

Use this option when you want a more gradual return to normal sending volume.

Email Placement Tests typically test a sample of inboxes. This section determines how broadly the recovery action should be applied.

Only the inboxes that participated in the placement test will receive the recovery action.

Best for: Conservative testing and minimizing impact.

Applies recovery actions to every inbox that shares the same sending domain as any inbox included in the placement test.

Example:

If the test includes:

Then all inboxes using acme.com can receive the recovery action.

Best for: Domain-wide protection when deliverability issues likely affect the entire domain.

Applies recovery actions to all inboxes assigned to selected tags.

Example:

Best for: Managing groups of inboxes across multiple domains.

Applies recovery actions to inboxes connected to selected providers.

Examples:

Best for: Responding to provider-specific deliverability issues.

The Action Summary provides a preview of exactly what will happen when the automation is triggered.

Example:

For all accounts on the same domains as the test, when inbox placement falls below 70%, campaign sending will be paused, warm-up will be reduced to 7 emails/day with a 55% reply rate for 1 day, and original settings will be restored afterward.

Important: Always review the Action Summary before saving your automation.

Use more aggressive protection settings:

This minimizes risk while the domain is building reputation.

Use moderate recovery settings:

This helps maintain sending momentum while addressing deliverability concerns.
