Email Settings

The Email Settings define the default Mail From email address and Names that will be visible to the recipients of the mainflow communication emails sent. Available options are discussed below:

Default Settings #

Option Name	Description
From Name	The Name that is visible to the recipient as Sender Name. When you send marketing emails to your subscribers, the “From Name” (also known as the email Sender name) tells the recipients who sent them the email. It is very important and a determining factor for the email you will send whether your email will be opened, or get ignored by the recipients. Often it is the company name, or perhaps the product name or service name people have signed up to learn about.
From Email Address	The Name that is visible to the recipient is Sender’s Email Address. This is limited to the number of available configured connections in SMTP Plugins if installed like mainflow. This is the email address the user will see when they open the email. There are a number of things to follow when choosing the “From Email” address. Always avoid using free webmail addresses, and also avoid the no-reply address. Use a valid email address that also matches your SMTP email address or this will cause an email delivery issue.
Reply to Name	The Name that identifies the Name of the entity that will receive the reply to the sent email.
Reply to Email	The email that will receive the reply of the sent email.
Maximum Email Limit Per Second	The maximum number of emails attempted per second. It can be lower due to a lot of factors like site performance, security or firewall limits, rules, the number of connections allowed from the remote mail server that delivers the emails, or by default WordPress hosting if no SMTP plugin is installed and configured.

The above settings will only apply if there is no SMTP Plugin installed and uses the default mailing system. If an SMTP plugin is installed like mainflow and that does not force the Sender Name and Email Address as below then the above settings will be in effect.

But if you have any SMTP plugin installed on your website which takes over the email delivery of the website then you will be able to select your configured email addresses or connections or delivery method from From Email Address option as below:

Below is an example of the From Name and From Email Address shown in Gmail Web Client.

Email Footer Settings #

Email Footer Text: The footer section usually contains information about the sender’s unsubscribe link or forward the email. You should provide your business address {{crm.business_address}} and manage the subscription/unsubscribe URL for the best user experience.

Smartcode in Footer: {{crm.business_name}}, {{crm.business_address}}, ##crm.manage_subscription_url##, ##crm.unsubscribe_url## will be replaced with dynamic values. It is recommended to keep the texts as default aligned. Your provided email design template will align the texts.
