The platform

Six modules. One system for owned-audience growth.

Contacts feed segments. Segments feed campaigns. Campaigns pass through review and the delivery engine. Analytics feed everything back. Because it's one data model — not a stack of integrations — every module makes the others smarter.

01 · Contacts

Every contact, campaign-ready.

Contacts aren't rows in a list — they're live customer profiles that tell you exactly what you can send, to whom, and why.

  • Unified profiles. Attributes, engagement history, purchases, and custom properties in one view.

  • Consent & suppression visibility. See opt-in state and every suppression that applies to a contact — before it surprises you at send time.

  • Lifecycle stage. Active, cooling, at-risk, dormant, won back — assigned from behavior, not guesswork.

  • Search & filters. Find any cohort in seconds and jump straight into a segment.

  • Data readiness. Merge-tag coverage and field completeness surfaced up front, so personalization never breaks.

Base lifecycle mix

02 · Segments

Dynamic audiences with built-in guardrails.

Behavioral, lifecycle, and engagement-based targeting — with exclusions and suppression state treated as part of the audience, not a post-processing step.

  • Behavioral & lifecycle segments. Target by what customers do and where they are in their lifecycle.

  • Engagement-based targeting. Reach the engaged, protect your reputation from the disengaged.

  • Exclusions & suppressions. Suppression sets attach with boolean logic; every excluded contact is counted and logged.

  • Dynamic audiences. Segments recompute as events arrive — the audience at send time is the audience you defined.

03 · Email editor

Premium creation, without fighting the editor.

A drag-and-drop editor for teams who care how their brand shows up in the inbox.

  • Brand kit. Colors, type, logos, and spacing locked in once, applied everywhere.

  • Blocks & templates. Reusable content blocks and starting points that don't all look the same.

  • Personalization & dynamic content. Merge tags with validated fallbacks and blocks that adapt per recipient.

  • QA checks. Broken links, missing alt text, and unvalidated tags are caught in the editor, not in the inbox.

  • Preview modes. Mobile, desktop, and dark mode previews rendered per-contact, not generically.

04 · Campaign management

A campaign lifecycle you can see and trust.

From draft to sent, every campaign moves through explicit states — with test sends, review, and scheduling built into the flow.

  • Campaign creation. Audience, creative, sender, and pacing come together in one workflow.

  • Test sends. Priority test emails reach reviewers instantly, rendered exactly as recipients will see them.

  • Review checklist. The enforced pre-send checklist keeps unfinished campaigns from shipping.

  • Scheduling. Queue sends for the right moment with configuration frozen and auditable.

  • Campaign analytics. Every campaign closes the loop with delivery, engagement, and revenue reporting.

05 · Delivery engine

The part most platforms hope you won't ask about.

Retensive's delivery engine is built for very large audiences and treats your sender reputation as the asset it is.

  • Large-scale sending. Campaigns are prepared, queued, and streamed to millions of recipients reliably.

  • Pacing & domain-aware throttling. Per-provider velocity, automatic backoff on deferrals, steady speed on clean acceptance.

  • Canary batches. A small first wave validates placement before the full audience is committed.

  • Seed injection. Seeds ride inside production sends for continuous, real-volume placement monitoring.

  • Emergency brake & Reputation Protect. Pause mid-send in one action; run sensitive sends in the most conservative mode.

  • Scheduled & priority sends. Scheduled campaigns and queue-jumping test sends coexist without conflict.

06 · Analytics

Reporting that speaks revenue.

Not just opens and clicks — outcomes, tied back to the segments and lifecycle stages that produced them.

  • Full-funnel campaign metrics. Sent, delivered, opened, clicked, unsubscribed, complaints — per campaign and per domain.

  • Revenue & conversions. Placeholder revenue attribution designed to connect to your conversion source of truth.

  • Domain performance. See which sending domains carry your reputation and which need care.

  • Feedback into segments. Results flow back into lifecycle stages, so the next audience is smarter than the last.
