Direct Email Reception

This means that Emails sent directly to your specified email addresses (e.g., [email protected]) appear in the conversations tab immediately without needing to send an email prior.

Pro Tips:

  1. Warm-Up Your Domain: Use the SMTP credentials to connect your domain with a warm-up service. This is crucial, especially for new domains, as it helps to build a positive sender reputation and reduces the likelihood of emails landing in spam folders.
  2. Create Unique SMTP Users for Team Members: Assign individual SMTP credentials for each team member. This not only enhances security but also allows you to track and manage email activity more effectively.
  3. Regularly Verify Domain Settings: Periodically check that your NS settings are correct and verified in your domain service provider to ensure seamless email delivery and avoid disruptions.
  4. Use Strong, Unique Passwords: When creating SMTP credentials, use strong and unique passwords. Regularly update these passwords to maintain security, especially when connecting to external services.
  5. Monitor Email Deliverability: Keep an eye on the email deliverability metrics available in your platform. If issues arise, you can quickly adjust settings or re-verify your domain to improve performance.
