Sender details are essential for sending email campaigns and include the email address and name that appear in the "From:" line. Here's how to configure them properly:

Important Requirements

• Use a custom domain email (like Google Workspace) instead of free email services
• Ensure accurate information to comply with legal requirements like CAN-SPAM
• You can create up to 10 sender details but use only one at a time

Verification Process

1. Email Validation

• Use a custom email linked to your domain (example: [email protected])
• Verify through confirmation code sent to your email

2. Domain Validation

• Required for external email domains
• Squarespace domains are automatically verified
• DMARC policy set as p=reject requires domain verification first

Setup Steps

1. Create Sender Details:

• Navigate to Email Campaign settings
• Click "Sender Details" then "Add Sender"
• Enter sender name and email address

2. Verify Email Address:

• Check inbox for verification code
• Enter code in configuration window
• Check spam folder if email not received

3. Verify Domain:

• Required for external domains
• Automatic for Squarespace domains
• Follow domain provider instructions for external domains

Best Practices

For optimal results:

1. Register domain through Squarespace
2. Set up custom email with Google Workspace
3. Create sender details
