Hi there! Can I get more information about what "warming" does within sequencer if we're using already established Google email addresses?

Even with established Google email addresses, warming in our sequencer sends and receives automated emails to build your sender reputation. Each account gets a unique two-word keyphrase to identify warmup emails, and you can set up filters to ignore these messages.
This helps prevent email providers from flagging sudden spikes in volume as suspicious - gradual warmup builds trust before you scale your campaigns.

How long does Warm up take and can I start sending right away or do I need to wait for warm up to finish

You can start sending campaigns right away without waiting for warmup to finish. [1] Warmup runs in the background while your campaigns are active, gradually building your sender reputation through automated emails. [2]
The documentation doesn't specify exactly how long warmup takes, but it's designed to work alongside your active campaigns rather than as a prerequisite. You can launch immediately and let warmup do its work behind the scenes.
What's your typical daily sending volume going to be for this campaign?

Perfect - 20 emails per day per BDR is exactly what we recommend to stay out of spam. With 8 BDRs sending 20 emails each, you'll be at 160 emails daily, which should work well with your 1000 contact limit.
Since you can start campaigns immediately while warmup runs in the background, you're all set to launch. Just make sure each BDR has their own email domain to maintain that 20-30 email daily limit per domain.
