in Account Settings

A Sending profile is emailing information. It includes sender email address, sender name and return email address (for replies). It discloses the following: who sent, where they sent from, and if they answered, where the email will be sent. These details are critical and will determine whether your recipient will open the email or perceive it as spam. Therefore, it’s important to pay attention to these settings at each campaign level.

It is recommended that the sender’s name include the company name and if it is a private person, then of course, the full name.

There are two ways to set up the sending profile:

  1. Update default settings for all campaigns.
  2. Update different settings for different campaigns.
