Bounce Email Rotation FAQ

Answers to common questions about automatic bounce email rotation in sequences.

Written by Amogh Balikai

Who this is for: Recruiters and Admins with questions about how automatic bounce email rotation behaves.

Can I turn bounce rotation off?

No — rotation is automatic and applies to every sequence. There's no setting to disable it.

Does rotating to a new email count as a new step or a new touchpoint?

No. It's a retry of the same step against a different address — it doesn't add an extra step to the sequence or change the recipient's position in it.

Will I be notified when a rotation happens?

Not currently as a separate notification.

Does this affect my sender's deliverability or reputation?

Rotation changes which recipient address is used, not which sender account sends the email — it doesn't add extra sending volume beyond the retry itself.

What if I only have one email address for a recipient?

Rotation has nothing to rotate to, so a hard bounce moves the recipient straight to Bounced status. Add a second address to their profile to give a step somewhere to fall back to.

Does this apply to Manual Email and Marketing Email steps, or just Automated Email?

It works on all kinds of email steps - Automated, manual, marketing emails.
