In this post, we'll go over some basic email information, and help you understand how to use the system.

Getting started

Before you can send emails from AuthorLetters, there are a few things you need to do:

1) Authenticate your email domain by updating your DNS records
2) Fill out your business settings

Domain authentication

Domain authentication is slightly more involved, so we have a separate post on it here. Don't hesitate to contact support with any questions.

Business Settings

You need to fill out your business settings in order to be able to send emails with AuthorLetters. Your business settings are basic information that you need to include within your email so it doesn't trigger spam filters and meets legal requirements.

You'll need to enter:

  • Your business name

  • The full address for your business (this might be your home address or PO Box if you have one)

  • Your admin email address (this is for internal use only, but this can also be the email you send your emails from in AuthorLetters)

Once you've completed your domain authentication and business settings. You're ready to send emails!
