💡 Resend your Broadcasts to unopens

Get your Broadcasts in front of more people by resending them to subscribers who didn't open them the first time! Our resend to unopens feature allows you to send your Broadcast again, but only to the subscribers who didn't open it the first time around. Learn more about how to resend a Broadcast to unopens.

Our tips for resending to unopens

  • Schedule resends in advance: You can schedule a Broadcast resend in advance, using the same method for scheduling a regular Broadcast. The number of unopens will be accurate up until the moment you resend, even if you schedule it days beforehand!
  • Wait a few days before resending: We recommend waiting a few days to a week before resending. This gives your subscribers the opportunity to open the original. Not everyone checks their email every day, and you don't want to overwhelm their inbox (and risk them unsubscribing as a result).
  • Don't resend every Broadcast: We suggest using this feature sparingly to avoid flooding your subscribers' inboxes. So, don't resend every single Broadcast. Save it for your best content, or the most important announcements you don't want your subscribers to miss!
