Adding a From Address for Sending

By Gabrielle Campaigns

In Mail Designer 365 Delivery Hub, you can send email campaigns to your audience via your own email domain.

To set up a new from address for sending, go to Delivery Hub > From: Addresses.

Under From: addresses for Campaigns you will see the input field to add a new email domain. Enter your email address and sender name (e.g. your company):

 

Shortly after, you will receive a confirmation email. Click the link in the email to confirm the email domain you entered belongs to you:

 

Important: Further verification steps

Although your new email address is now verified for sending, you also need to verify your email domain. This is an important step in order to prevent your emails being marked as spam. Without domain verification, you may experience deliverability issues.

This page takes you through step-by-step so you can get set up for sending emails in no time.

Set up a Team

By Campaigns

Mail Designer 365 works best in teams – send test emails, discuss and approve design drafts in Crew Chat, and schedule and send campaigns together in Delivery Hub.

Setting up your team

When you first create your Mail Designer 365 account at my.maildesigner365.com, you will be taken through the team creation workflow.

If someone from your company already has a Mail Designer 365 team, you will be asked if you want to join. Otherwise, click Create your team to get started:

You will now be directed to the TeamCloud start page. This is where you will see all your team's uploaded templates once you get started with Mail Designer 365 Campaigns:

To manage your team, click the Settings icon. On the Team Members page, you can invite new members (e.g. colleagues & collaborators) to your team via the Invite members button:

Enter the email address of the person you want to invite to your team and click the (+) icon to add further members. Finally, hit Invite to send your team invitations:

Once a user has accepted your invitation, they will appear in the Team Members overview list, where you can assign roles and design plans later:

Saving your design

By Gabrielle Campaigns

There are many scenarios where you will want to save the latest version of your email design – either to continue editing later, to share with your team, or to send.

Saving a design for the first time

When you first save a design, you will be prompted to give the design a name and can save it in your team's TeamCloud; making it available for all team members and across your personal devices:

 

Saving to continue editing

If you've finished working on your design for the time being, simply click the X to close the Mail Designer 365 design window. You will then be shown the save dialog:

 

Using your design with Testmail, Crew Chat or Delivery Hub

When you use your email design with Testmail, Crew Chat or Delivery Hub, Mail Designer 365 automatically updates the latest design version in TeamCloud to use with these services.

For example, clicking on the Crew Chat icon in the toolbar automatically triggers saving.

You can see when a new version is being uploaded whenever the TeamCloud upload icon is displayed in the toolbar:
