Time To Inbox
How we measure and track our speed
Transactional emails need to arrive in the inbox now. They often require an immediate response (e.g. account verification) and slow transactional emails are not an option. Users expect transactional emails to land in their inbox almost instantly, and it can be real detraction to customer confidence when they don't. If you've ever had to wait a few hours for a receipt for an online purchase, you will know exactly why.
We are speedy fast 🚅
And we share our performance metrics to prove it
We measure, track and optimize for time to inbox. We publish live results for all to see to hold ourselves accountable to our fast transactional email delivery times.
