Nice Score in Email Campaigns
Table of Contents
Introduction
Nice Score is a rating from 1 to 5 internally tracked by Vtiger CRM. Nice Score increases automatically from 1 to 2 if your initial campaigns do not exceed the thresholds of spam complaints, unsubscribes, or bounces. As the Nice Score increases, the number of email credits also increases.
How Vtiger Calculates the Nice Score
If your email campaigns have excess spam complaints, unsubscribes, or bounces, your Nice Score is reduced automatically. Also, the allowed credits to be used in future campaigns will decrease.If spam complaints, unsubscribes, or bounces are within acceptable limits, your Nice Score increases automatically. However, the Nice Score does not increase if your email campaign size is less than 50.
Nice score will now be computed only for Hard bounces. |
Thresholds for spam complaints, unsubscribes, and bounces
A high number of spam complaints, unsubscribes, or bounces indicate that most recipients have not subscribed to receive your emails. By sending unsolicited emails, you might turn away your customers.

Steps to take when threshold levels are crossed
Spam complaints, unsubscribes, and bounces occur in the following scenarios:
- When your contacts have not subscribed to receive your emails
- When contact email addresses are invalid
- When the content is irrelevant to the contacts
- When the sender domain is not authenticated
You can take the following measures to avoid exceeding the threshold levels:
- Clean up your marketing lists at frequent intervals
- Obtain double opt-in from all your contacts
- Send email campaigns only to the contacts that have double-opted in
- Authenticate sender domains using SPF, DKIM, and CNAME records
Difference Between Available and Allowed Credits
Available credits are the total number of emails you can send from your Vtiger account.
Allowed credits are the maximum number of emails you can send at the present moment. The number of allowed credits increases when your Nice Score increases.
For example, if you have 9680 Available credits and 1000 Allowed credits, you can send only 1000 emails per email campaign. Your Nice Score is recomputed within a couple of hours after a campaign is sent. When the Nice Score increases, the Allowed credits increase to 2500.
