Bounce is different than spam. Are you DMARC monitoring?
Sorry about the confusing wording, with bounce I mean both hard bounces, rejects and complaints (they are all monitored appropriately). They are all taken into account when calculating the % because they all have impact on the domain reputation.
I wish there was more copy on this site about what the tool is and why it's useful. It looks interesting, but there's not enough information there for me to figure out if it's worth investing more. I could do the free version to find out, but it'd be nice to have a 2-3 min video or page that goes more in depth on the features that are there.
Valuable feedback, thank you for this! How would you feel about a demo video where I show you how to set it up and go through the features at the same time?
"User clicks a button - fire an event to Plunk - sends email" makes total sense to me.
Random question, I noticed you are using Next for your site as well as your blog. What headless CMS are you using if any or is it just some markdown in a file?
Edit: the only downside I just remembered is that I would have to fire off separate events just for Plunk, since right now everything runs through Segment. Would be dope if you could integrate with them!

I agree that it would be helpful to show a simple use case on the home page. Maybe I'm not the target customer (although I am a soloproneur), but your user flow of (1) user clicking a button, (2) plunk receiving an event, (3) plunk sends an email, isn't really a problem that I have, since sending an email after an action is taken is pretty easy to manage. Are you are focusing on categorizing users into groups and sen…
A very big part of what Plunk does is giving you the opportunity to link multiple events together and delay emails. You can extend it to users that have clicked button A and B but not button C and send those an email after 5 days. Significantly harder to implement and a lot of code that isn't really used elsewhere!
What a very websitey web site. My first thought when I saw that home page was "boy, I bet if I keep scrolling, there's going to be empty areas on the page where things obnoxiously animate into place" and BOY HOWDY. For your free tier which claims to offer unlimited emails, how are you stopping people from signing up and using it to blast out spam until you find it and kill their account (after which they will just si…
Something to be aware of though. You might want to switch that to use your own domain.
I think you could get a lot of us who are completely new to this concept — teach us what it is, how it's useful for us, and make it 1-click to set up using your tool.

It is very hard to make statements about this. It very much depends on the reputation of your own domain (if you are not using our domain to send your emails) and the content of your emails if they will end up in spam. I have yet to see one of my own emails origination from @useplunk.com end up in somebody's spam folder! I believe that is a great start and further down the line (with more data) I may be able to make…
It sounds like the free version sends emails from the useplunk.com domain. If that is the case and some of those emails get marked as spam, won't all emails from the useplunk.com domain be more likely to be identified as spam?
Source: been there, done that ... there is no benefit to it and only pain.
Have a separate plunk-emails.com domain that is used for all emails. Or even have a bunch set up and rotate through them. This will mitigate spam impact too -- you will get spam issues even with 100% legit users
