EmailOctopus tightens onboarding and scheduling friction with small but real polish.

◆Current state
EmailOctopus's recent shipping is incremental refinement — Domain Connect for one-click DNS verification (replacing manual record copying that was the sticking point of onboarding), one-minute scheduling granularity, dashboard polish, PayPal as a payment option, and smarter soft-bounce handling. No platform reinvention.
◆Where it's heading
The product is removing onboarding-and-billing friction one step at a time — Domain Connect, PayPal, the dashboard refresh — while shoring up deliverability hygiene through bounce handling. Cadence is steady, with each release sized to a single thing that meaningfully shortens a workflow.
◆Prediction
Expect more onboarding-friction removals (likely import wizards or template prebuilt flows) and continued small deliverability investments. Nothing in the visible signal suggests a bigger AI or automation move.

Finer control over scheduled send times
Scheduled campaign sends now go to one-minute granularity from fifteen, with direct keyboard input for the time. Small but matters for time-sensitive campaign coordination.
