Step-by-Step Guide to Configuring Your Email Domain
Step 1: Access the Email Configuration Option
Log in to InLeads: Start by logging into your InLeads account. If you don't have an account, sign up and complete the initial setup.
Navigate to the Dashboard: Once logged in, you'll be directed to your InLeads dashboard.
Navigate to Settings -> Integrations tab
Find the Email Configuration Section: Look for the "Email Configuration" or "Add Domain" button prominently displayed on your dashboard.
Step 2: Add Your Domain
Click "Add Domain": Click the button to start the email domain configuration process. A pop-up window will appear prompting you to enter your domain details.
Enter Your Domain Name: In the pop-up window, type the domain name you wish to send emails from (e.g., yourcompany.com).
Click "Next": After entering your domain name, click the "Next" button to proceed.
Step 3: Verify Domain Ownership
Access DNS Records: To verify your domain, you'll need access to your domain's DNS records. This is typically managed through your domain registrar or hosting provider.
Follow Verification Instructions: InLeads will provide specific DNS records that need to be added to your domain's DNS settings. These may include TXT, CNAME, or MX records.
Log in to Your DNS Provider: Log in to the platform where your domain's DNS is managed (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare).
Add Provided DNS Records: Enter the DNS records provided by InLeads into your DNS settings. Ensure all records are added correctly.
Save DNS Changes: After adding the DNS records, save the changes in your DNS management platform.
Step 4: Confirm Domain Verification
Return to InLeads: Go back to the InLeads pop-up window where you were prompted to add DNS records.
Click "Verify": Click the "Verify" button to confirm that the DNS records have been added correctly. InLeads will check the records to verify domain ownership.
Wait for Verification: DNS changes may take some time to propagate. If verification doesn't happen immediately, wait for a few minutes and try again.
Successful Verification: Once the domain is verified, you will receive a confirmation message indicating that your domain is successfully connected to InLeads.
Step 5: Configure Email Settings
Return to Email Configuration: After successful domain verification, navigate back to the email configuration section in InLeads.
Set Default Sender Details: Enter the default sender name and email address that will appear on your emails. This ensures your emails are recognizable and professional.
Customize Email Templates: Use InLeads' email template builder to create and customize email templates for your outreach campaigns. Ensure your templates are aligned with your brand's voice and style.
Tips for Effective Email Management
Maintain a Consistent Sender Identity: Always use a consistent sender name and email address to build trust and recognition among your recipients.
Monitor Email Deliverability: Regularly check your email deliverability rates and ensure your emails are not marked as spam. Adjust your email content and sending practices as needed.
Personalize Your Emails: Use InLeads' personalization features to include recipient names, company names, and other personalized details in your emails. Personalized emails tend to have higher open and response rates.
Schedule and Automate Emails: Take advantage of InLeads' scheduling and automation features to send emails at optimal times and automate follow-up sequences.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
DNS Record Issues: If you're having trouble adding DNS records, ensure you have the correct access and that the records are entered exactly as provided by InLeads. Double-check for any typos or errors.
Verification Delays: DNS changes can take time to propagate. If verification is taking longer than expected, wait for a few hours and try again.
Email Deliverability Problems: If your emails are not reaching recipients, review your email content for spam triggers and ensure your domain is not blacklisted. Use InLeads' analytics to monitor deliverability and make necessary adjustments.
By following this detailed guide, you'll successfully integrate your email domain with InLeads, enabling you to manage and send emails directly from the platform.
