1. Set up the infrastructure for the sender and domain from which you wish to send emails.
   1. Make sure all the setup and compliance requirements are met.
   2. Make sure the email settings are added in the MoEngage UI and the email statistics are tracked as expected.
2. Make sure that you ramped up to send volume you are attempting to send.
   1. Check the highest volume sent in the last 30 days
   2. Check if the volume you are planning to send is less than 150% of the highest volume you sent in the last 30 days. if yes, you can go ahead and send emails. For example, if the volume sent in the last 30 days is 100k, and the volume you are planning to send is less than 150k, you can go ahead and send emails.
   3. if the above criteria is not satisfied, and:
      1. You have sent twice the peak volume in the last 30 days, then split the volume into two and send them with a 4-hour gap.
      2. You have sent more than twice the peak volume, then scale up to reach that volume and increase the 50% volume each day until you reach that number.
      3. If it’s a one-off email, then you can split it into multiple segments and send it in over 2-3 days without following scale-up.
