Watch our video guide

Email sender settings are available in your Salesfire dashboard to set a custom sender name and sender email address that will arrive to recipients.

These are important steps to take in order to improve deliverability and sender reputation. This is particularly important for brands that send more than 5,000 emails per day.

In order to meet this requirement, you need an email address that includes your own site domain name, this must be present in your domain records.

Domain authentication

Please ensure the domain entered matches a domain set up through your DNS records. This must not contain '/' or '//' or 'http'.

Adding your DNS records

Add a new record to your DNS zone file by copying and pasting the name and value into each record type's respective fields if this information is not present.
