Safety checks
Twenty checks over the batch that is about to leave, and one verdict that can stop it.
The verdict
Safety checks runs over the rendered batch — the actual messages, to the actual addresses — and returns SEND or HOLD. A HOLD is enforced by the code that sends, not by the button being greyed out, so it holds for a scheduled send at three in the morning exactly as it does for you at your desk.
What it looks at
The checks cover the things that are expensive to get wrong: a missing postal address or unsubscribe link, a batch that has already been sent, addresses on the do-not-contact list, a daily cap already spent, a campaign suspended for complaints.
They are computed over what is rendered. An empty or half-rendered batch is caught rather than passing vacuously — a check that nothing failed because nothing was there is the failure this was built for.
