Self-driving cars. Artificial intelligence. Perfectly-timed email sending. The future is here and it’s bright!

Smart sending is the newest AI feature from MailerLite, and it’s gonna redefine email engagement. Imagine every email you send lands in your subscribers’ inboxes when they’re most likely to engage. Simply fantasy? Think again. 

By using AI to analyze past campaigns, Smart sending predicts the best time to send emails to each subscriber. 

It's simple, it's smart, and it'll change your email marketing metrics forever. Delivering the right message at the moment your subscribers are most likely to engage is now a reality. Here’s how it works. →


Smart sending uses AI to analyze historical data and determine the perfect time to deliver your messages. Instead of scheduling your email campaign for a set time, all you have to do is hit the Smart sending button.

Your emails will automatically be sent to each subscriber at the optimal time for engagement within that 24-hour period, while learning your subscribers’ interactions to keep improving accuracy over time. 

AI is not just for content generation. By using AI to optimize send times, Smart sending offers a level of personalization that we only dreamed of until now.

This clever sending feature considers several factors when making predictions such as previous timing, opens and clicks, and then creates a personalized sending schedule for each subscriber.

When you send a campaign, Smart sending automatically splits subscribers into batches, sending the newsletter to individuals at their optimal send time.

And that's just the beginning...

You might not see a massive jump in engagement the first time you use Smart sending. But it just needs time to get to know your subscribers.

Smart sending uses previous campaigns to adapt and evolve––meaning the more you use Smart sending, the more effective it becomes for your audience. Very cool!


The best part about Smart sending is that it only takes one click to use it! All the analysis happens behind the scenes. Simply create a campaign, then select the Smart sending option on the Review and schedule page.

Hi, my name is Migle, which is a very hard Lithuanian name to pronounce. Let's just say I have way too many nicknames to count. As a Product Manager, I am obsessed with planning and organizing. I love that feeling of taming the dragon of chaos. Especially when that chaos turns into a new product feature that helps you succeed!
