Integrations
Integrations connect Ace Influence with third-party services to extend the platform's capabilities.
Accessing integrations
Navigate to Settings > Integrations in the sidebar.
Available integrations
Email provider
Connect your email account to send and receive outreach emails directly through Ace Influence. This integration powers:
- Outreach email sending (drafts, bulk sends).
- Inbox email receiving.
- Thread-based conversation tracking.
TIP
An email provider connection is required before you can send any outreach emails. Set this up during your initial platform configuration.
Custom domain
Configure a custom email domain for sending outreach emails. Navigate to Settings > Email Domain to set up your domain.
Using a custom domain:
- Improves email deliverability — Emails sent from your own domain are less likely to be flagged as spam compared to a shared sending domain.
- Presents a professional sender identity — Creators see emails from
yourname@yourbrand.cominstead of a generic platform address. - Requires DNS configuration — You'll need to add DNS records to your domain to verify ownership and authorize email sending.
DNS records required
During custom domain setup, the platform provides the exact DNS records you need to add. These typically include:
| Record type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| SPF (TXT record) | Authorizes Ace Influence to send emails on behalf of your domain. Prevents your emails from being flagged as unauthorized. |
| DKIM (TXT record) | Adds a digital signature to your emails for authentication. Helps receiving mail servers verify the email hasn't been tampered with. |
| DMARC (TXT record) | Defines how receiving servers should handle emails that fail SPF or DKIM checks. Protects your domain reputation. |
WARNING
DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate. After adding the records, the platform will verify them automatically. You'll see a status indicator showing whether verification is complete.
Domain warm-up
When a new domain is verified, the platform automatically enables warm-up mode. Warm-up gradually increases the daily sending limit over time, building sender reputation and preventing your emails from being flagged as spam by mail providers.
How warm-up affects your sending:
| Day | Daily send limit |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | 50 |
| Day 2 | 100 |
| Day 3 | 200 |
| Day 4 | 400 |
| Day 5 | 700 |
| Day 6 | 1,000 |
| Day 7 | 1,500 |
| Day 8 | 2,000 |
| Day 9+ | Increases by 1.5× each day until your plan's daily cap is reached |
During warm-up, your daily sending cap is the lower of the warm-up limit and your plan's cap. Once the warm-up limit exceeds your plan cap, warm-up is effectively complete.
You can view the current warm-up status (day number, today's limit, full schedule) and toggle warm-up on or off at Settings > Email Domain. A warm-up status banner also appears on the campaign outreach page while warm-up is active.
TIP
If you need to send more emails immediately and are willing to accept some deliverability risk, you can disable warm-up from Settings > Email Domain. This restores your full plan daily cap right away.
