How to Avoid Spams When Sending Customer Support Emails

Spam filters could be the biggest enemy of email marketers. Sending out spam could hurt your overall email deliverability or might even get your IP or domain blacklisted. This will result in all your emails being bounced or rejected by the recipient servers. 

And this practically means the death of your email marketing strategy.  

The question is could your customer support emails be flagged as spam? Are customer support emails spam-proof simply because customers have consented to receive them in the past? 

You might find the answers to these questions if you open your spam folder. You’ll probably find some product updates or recommendations, newsletters, feedback/review requests, or any kind of email you might associate with customer support. This attests to the fact that customer support emails could be flagged as spam. Even permission-based email marketing could be flagged spam. 

In this article, we start by explaining what spam filters are and how they function. Then we offer some ways to avoid spam filters when sending customer support emails.

March updates: exit intent & better triggers

All of us are going through the uneasy times: change of plans, restrictions, and uncertainty. Many people have been forced to work from home. While we believe remote work has a lot of benefits (Chatra is a 100% remote company), it can still be challenging if the change is forced on you like that. Sometimes ago we’ve published a book on remote work that can be a nice read (and a nice distraction as well).

On our end, we continue to work on improving the product. Since launching the email integration (you should absolutely check it out), we’ve been working hard on adding more features to Chatra. This time, we’ve made our automatic triggers more powerful.
