What is Whitelisting?

Whitelisting involves adding an email address to an approved list, ensuring emails from that sender are delivered to your inbox and not mistakenly marked as spam.

Why Whitelisting is Important

By whitelisting, you increase the chances of your marketing emails reaching your subscribers, thus improving open rates, engagement, and maintaining a good sender reputation.
