How Send One-to-One Email Works

Send personal, individual emails that appear to come directly from team members. These emails are optimized for personal communication and typically see higher engagement rates than marketing emails.
One-to-one emails do not respect user marketing email opt-out settings. They should be used sparingly and only when necessary.
