Configuring the 'From' and 'Reply-To' email addresses

Effective email communication with learners is essential for any organization or academy to establish and maintain a strong, positive relationship. Using an email from the authorized domain increases the chance of the message ending in the recipient's primary inbox rather than being flagged as spam. In this help article, we'll look at the steps in configuring primary and secondary email addresses to your academy.

You must add and verify your email domain before adding the primary email address. Learn how to add domain here. Only a verified domain can be used as the primary email address.

To access contact settings:

Click the Emails tab on the left pane.
Select the Contact Settings tab at the top. The contact settings page will be displayed.

Primary email address

The primary email address is from which learners will receive important communications and other notifications from the academy. You can add multiple primary email addresses and choose the required one while configuring the email to the learner.

Consider an a situation where you run an academy with a verified custom domain zylker.com. Now, you can use different primary email addresses for different functions. You can use announcement@zylker.com to send notification emails, sales@zylker.com can be used to send purchase confirmation and renewals, and onboarding@zylker.com can be used for course invite emails. This way, you can streamline all the learner communications.
