Introduction

Welcome to Loops, the platform for SaaS email.

Quickstart

Adding a Team Member

The Loops Free Plan is available to everyone who stores under 1,000 contacts on the Loops platform. After you've exceeded the 1,000 contact limit you'll be prompted to upgrade to a paid plan.

Sending your first email

Uploading a custom email

Merge tags are a great way to add context and personalization to emails. They allow you to include contact attributes such as their first name in your emails. To add a merge tag, simply select the merge tag icon in the toolbar of the email editor. When the email is sent, the first name of the contact will be added in the appropriate place.

Personalizing with merge tags

Duplicating an email is a great way to re-use basic elements of an email without needing to start over from scratch for each send. It's also the best way to create formatted emails that you can use as templates for future emails.

There are three types of emails that you can send with Loops. Campaigns, Loops, and Transactional.

Types of Email

Scheduled digest emails are a great way to keep your users engaged with your app. You can send a daily, weekly or monthly email with a summary of what's happened in your app.

Scheduled Digest Email

Use a Loop when you'd like to trigger an email based on an event that you trigger via our API, Zapier or Segment. You can also use a preset trigger like “User joins list” to trigger a Loop.

Deliverability optimization

If you haven’t contacted your user base before or it’s been a while, this is the guide for you!

Sending to a large audience for the first time

Most email services (including Loops) prefer sending emails from subdomains (hey.company.com) over root domains (company.com).

Sending from a subdomain vs a root domain

Gmail doesn't report spam reports to Loops, so setting up Google Postmaster is key to getting an idea of your deliverability performance in Gmail.

Integrations

Loops provides a REST API to manage your contacts and send events. You can use this API to add contacts to your Loops audience, update their attributes, and send events to Loops.

Our Zapier integration is currently in Beta, [you can sign up here](https://zapier.com/app/login?next=/developer/public-invite/154300/8a12f78ac265338ee7883c4bce459667/).
