Configure a sender identity for email campaigns

Before sending campaigns from Marketing Campaigns, you must configure a sender identity. This configuration defines how recipients will see your emails and helps ensure better deliverability.

Written by Product Learning

Overview

Sender configuration is the first operational step in the Marketing Campaigns creation flow.

From this section, you can:

  • configure the sender identity

  • define reply addresses

  • add the required legal information

  • manage domain authentication

  • configure the unsubscribe process


Roles and permissions

Access to Marketing Campaigns depends on a combination of general permissions and management permissions.

Email Campaigns (General)

Allows users to:

  • view the Campaigns module

  • access the campaign list

  • review metrics and results

This is the base permission required to access the module.

Manage Email Campaigns

Allows users to:

  • create campaigns

  • edit campaigns

  • send campaigns

  • delete campaigns

  • configure senders

  • verify domains

  • modify marketing statuses

This permission is required to fully manage the functionality.


Access by rol

Role

Access and capabilities

Marketing / Admin

Full access to settings, senders, campaigns, domains, sending and analytics.

Can view campaigns, review results and monitor metrics. Usually does not manage campaign settings or campaign sending.

Sales Rep

Does not have direct access to the module from the side menu. However, can view campaign activity, customer interactions, timelines and related widgets from Company and Contact records.


Access to sender configuration

Go to:

Campaigns → Email campaigns

Within this section, you will find two main areas:

  • Activity campaigns

  • Email campaigns

Sender configuration is part of the initial onboarding for Email campaigns.

Click:

Configure sender identity

to open the configuration form.


Configure sender information

When creating a sender, you must complete the information used to send campaigns and receive replies.

Next, we will go through each field required to complete the configuration.

Contextual help during configuration

While completing the form, you will find several information icons (i) next to some fields.

These indicators display contextual help and specific recommendations to help you complete each part of the sender configuration correctly.

From Name

This is the visible name recipients will see in their inbox.

Examples:

  • Technical Support

  • Marta from Marketing

  • Sales Team

Use clear and recognisable names to improve trust and open rates.


From Email Address

This is the address used to send campaigns.

Marketing Campaigns automatically detects the use of free domains such as:

  • Gmail

  • Yahoo

  • Personal Outlook accounts

These domains apply restrictive policies to mass email sending and may negatively affect deliverability. We recommend always using a corporate domain.

Sender email verification

When hovering over the information icon (i), Marketing Campaigns displays a validation message related to sender authentication.

If the configured email domain does not match any domain previously authenticated in the platform, the system will ask you to verify that you own this email address before you can use the sender.

After creating the sender, Marketing Campaigns will automatically send a verification email to the configured address.

Until this validation is completed, the sender cannot be used to send campaigns.


Reply-To

Defines the address where you will receive replies from your customers.

It can match the sender email address or use a different address.

Example:


Nickname

The nickname is an internal identifier used to recognise the sender easily within Marketing Campaigns.

This name is not visible to recipients


Postal address

For legal compliance reasons (CAN-SPAM and GDPR), a valid physical company address is required.

This address will be automatically added to the footer of sent emails.


Complete the configuration

Once all fields have been completed:

  1. Review the information

  2. Click Create

  3. The system will create the new sender identity

When the sender has been created successfully, it will appear as configured in the initial Email campaigns onboarding.


Domain verification

Domain authentication is part of sender configuration and is managed from the domain verification tab.

Domain verification works as the “passport” for your emails and validates that messages sent from your domain are legitimate.

A correct configuration helps to:

  • improve deliverability

  • reduce blocking

  • prevent emails from going to spam

  • ensure the authenticity of your sends

During this process, the system generates technical records that you must configure in your DNS provider, such as GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Arsys or Ionos.

Once verified, the domain will appear with the status:

Verified

and will be ready to use in campaigns.


Continue with domain verification
