How can you build your own seed-list test framework?

Building your own seedlist framework:

Create accounts: Register email addresses at providers your audience uses. Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, plus relevant regional providers.

Enable access: Configure IMAP or use provider APIs for programmatic checking.

Build checking scripts: Write code to check each mailbox after test sends. Identify folder placement.

Maintain accounts: Log in periodically to prevent deactivation. Keep accounts active.

Scale considerations: More seeds per provider increases confidence but increases maintenance.

DIY works but requires ongoing effort. Commercial tools may be more practical at scale.

Build your own lighthouse network if you have the crew to maintain it.
