Safety Controls: Caps, Pauses, and Unsubscribes

Built-in Safety Features

PostSignup includes multiple safeguards to prevent accidents.

Daily Sending Caps

Why Caps Matter

  • Prevent runaway automations
  • Protect sender reputation
  • Ensure thoughtful sending

Setting Caps

  • Go to Settings > Safety
  • Set maximum daily sends
  • Choose what happens when cap is reached (pause vs queue)

Pause Controls

Per-Automation Pause

Stop specific automations while others continue.

Global Pause

Emergency stop for everything.

Scheduled Pauses

Automatically pause during weekends or holidays.

Unsubscribe Handling

Automatic Compliance

Every email includes an unsubscribe link.

Instant Processing

Unsubscribes are processed immediately.

Permanent Suppression

Unsubscribed users never receive automation emails again.

Suppression List

Beyond unsubscribes, manually suppress:

  • Specific users
  • Email domains
  • Imported lists

Rate Limiting

Throttling

Sends are spread out over time, not blasted simultaneously.

Queue Management

If something backs up, you can review and clear the queue.

Recovery from Mistakes

  • Pause immediately

  • Review audit log
  • Communicate with affected users
