NetSendo v1.8.6: Hit the Inbox with Deliverability Shield
Are Your Emails Landing in the Void?
You've crafted the perfect email, built a beautiful template, and hit 'send' on a campaign to thousands. But what if a significant portion never reaches the primary inbox? Poor email deliverability is the silent killer of marketing ROI, and troubleshooting it often feels like navigating a minefield of acronyms like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC.
At NetSendo, we believe you should have full control over your marketing stack, and that includes your sender reputation. That's why we're thrilled to launch Deliverability Shield in NetSendo v1.8.6—your new command center for ensuring your messages hit the inbox, every time.
🚀 What's New: An Overview of Deliverability Shield
Deliverability Shield isn't just one feature; it's a suite of integrated tools designed to demystify email deliverability and give you actionable insights. It's like having a deliverability expert built right into your NetSendo dashboard.
Unified Dashboard
A single-pane view of your domains' sending health, DNS records, and historical performance.
DMARC Wiz
A guided setup wizard that simplifies creating and deploying a DMARC policy for your domains.
InboxPassport AI
Predicts if your email will land in the Primary, Promotions, or Spam folder and gives actionable advice.
Real-time Alerts
Get notified instantly if your SPF, DKIM, or DMARC records break, so you can fix issues before they impact delivery.
InboxPassport AI: Your Pre-Send Flight Check
Imagine being able to predict your campaign's success before it even leaves the ground. That's InboxPassport AI. This tool simulates how major inbox providers (like Gmail and Outlook) will perceive your email. It analyzes your content for spam triggers, checks link reputation, and validates HTML formatting, providing a confidence score and clear, actionable recommendations to improve your placement.
{
"inbox_prediction": {
"provider": "gmail",
"placement": "Primary",
"confidence_score": "92%",
"recommendations": [
"Reduce image-to-text ratio.",
"Fix 1 broken link found.",
"Consider removing 'urgent action required' phrase."
]
}
}✅ Benefits & Real-World Use Cases
Deliverability Shield empowers you to move from reactive problem-solving to proactive reputation management. Here's how it helps different businesses:
E-commerce Store Preparing for Black Friday
An e-commerce manager uses InboxPassport AI to test their main promotional email. The AI flags a high image-to-text ratio and a spammy-sounding subject line. They adjust the content based on the recommendations, re-test, and get a 95% confidence score for landing in the Primary inbox, maximizing visibility and sales during the crucial sales period.
SaaS Company Onboarding New Users
A SaaS business relies on transactional emails for user activation. The Domain Monitoring system sends an alert to their admin: the company's SPF record was accidentally deleted during a DNS migration. The team fixes it within minutes, preventing a catastrophic failure where new users wouldn't receive their welcome emails and account verification links.
Marketing Agency Managing Client Accounts
An agency uses the main Deliverability Dashboard to get an at-a-glance overview of all their clients' domain health. When onboarding a new client, they use the DMARC Wiz to correctly configure the client's sending domain in under 10 minutes, establishing a foundation of trust and technical excellence from day one.

🎯 Expert Tips for Bulletproof Deliverability
When you first set up DMARC, use the policy `p=none`. This "monitoring mode" tells email providers to report unauthorized use of your domain without rejecting the emails. This lets you gather data safely before escalating to `p=quarantine` or `p=reject`.
Even with perfect DNS settings, a brand new sending domain needs to build a reputation. Start by sending to a small, engaged segment of your list and slowly increase the volume over several weeks. Use the Deliverability Shield dashboard to monitor your reputation as you go.
Use NetSendo's powerful webhooks to pipe deliverability alerts directly into your team's Slack channel or project management tool. This ensures critical issues are seen and addressed instantly by the right people.
⚠️ Important: The CardIntel token limits for AI operations have also been increased in v1.8.6 to better handle large inputs for message generation and analysis.
