Email Campaign Setup Guide: Configure Sender Details and Domain Verification
Sender details are essential components that appear in the From: line of your email campaigns. Here's how to set them up properly:
Before Starting
To ensure optimal email delivery and avoid spam filters:
- Use a custom email domain (e.g., [email protected]) instead of free email services
- Ensure all information is accurate to comply with CAN-SPAM Act
- Note that you can create up to 10 sender details but use only one at a time
Verification Requirements
Two types of verification are needed:
- Email Verification: Confirms your email address is valid
- Domain Verification: Proves ownership of your sending domain
