Overview

Overview is the first page you see when you sign in. It shows what is left to set up, and once you are sending, how your sending is going.

Getting started

Until your account sends its first email, Overview is a checklist. Each step links to where you do it, and ticks itself off when it is done, so there is nothing to mark by hand.

The Get set up checklist on Overview, with three steps: verify a sending domain, choose a plan, and send your first message, then two optional steps to issue an API key and add a postal address
  1. Verify a sending domain, so mail can go out under your name.
  2. Choose a plan to switch sending on.
  3. Send your first message, a campaign test to yourself or one request from your app. After that, this checklist gives way to your numbers.
  4. Issue an API key, only if your app sends email through Wakio.
  5. Add your postal address for the foot of your campaigns and flows.

You can finish every step and still have sending limited. For example, while a payment is overdue, campaigns and automated flows stop, though email from your app keeps sending. When sending is limited, Overview says why in a notice under the checklist.

Your sending at a glance

Once your account has sent something, Overview shows three numbers.

One card on Overview with three numbers: 187,716 sent this cycle of 500,000 allowed, 312,284 remaining on Scale, and 1 sending domain, ready to send
  • This cycle is how many emails Wakio has accepted since your billing period started, out of your plan's monthly allowance. Every email counts, including the ones your app sends.
  • Remaining is what is left of that allowance, with your plan's name under it. It reads Unlimited on a plan with no allowance, and None when the account has no plan.
  • Sending domains is how many domains you have added, and how many of them are ready to send right now.

Under the numbers, Overview breaks your email down by status, each linking to the matching list under Deliveries, and lists your most recent bounces, complaints and failures.
