    • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): This adds an extra layer of security to your account. When enabled, anyone who tries to log in on this customer profile will be required to download an authenticator app on their smartphones and set up MFA to log in – a step-by-step modal will guide them on this. Implementing MFA will enhance the overall security status of your account.

Click Save when you’re finished.

Branding

If you’re an administrator-level user, you can edit customer branding by hovering over your username in the navigation and clicking Branding. This takes you directly to the branding panel for the customer you’re logged in as.

Public branding is branding subscribers see on the Update My Profile, Unsubscribe, and Report as Spam pages that they direct to when clicking the links in the footer of your email.

Domains

This is where you set up and view the domains from which you send emails; a practice that enhances email delivery. On the main dashboard you’ll see a list of the domains you’ve added to the system and their:

  • Domain Status: Shows if the domain is verified and analytics have been set.
  • Verification: If the domain has been verified.
  • Google Analytics: Shows if Google analytics is enabled.
How to Add a Domain

To add a new domain:

  1. Hover over your username in the top navigation and click Domains.
  2. Click Add Domain.
  3. Enter your domain name. This should be the domain that your email communications are sent from (e.g.: domainname.co.za or domainname.com).
  4. From here, you can verify your domain in one of two ways:
    • Verify and authenticate domain by DNS.
    • Verify via email approval.
Verify and Authenticate Domain by DNS

To verify and authenticate your domain using DNS records:

  1. Select Verify and Authenticate Domain by DNS and click Generate Records.
  2. On the following page, copy and paste the generated TXT and CNAME fields into the DNS section in your domain hosting settings.
  3. Once you’ve done this, select the ‘I have added these records’ checkbox and click Verify. DNS records may take 24 – 48 hours to validate.
  4. Configuration will reflect on the Domains dashboard under the Verification tab once the relevant domain has been correctly configured. If the domain hasn’t validated within 48 hours, the user may have done it incorrectly and will need to try again.

Please note: If you verify your domain in this way, you will not be allowed to send messages until it’s validated in the DNS.

Setting Up Google Analytics for a Specific Domain

This feature allows you to feed email engagement tracking data from our platform into the Google Analytics account set up on your website.

To set up tracking links on a given domain using our platform, do the following:

  1. Hover over your Username until a dropdown list appears.
  2. Scroll down to the Domains section and click on it.
  3. Select a relevant domain you want to enable Google Analytics tracking on.
  4. At the top right of your screen, click on the Google Analytics button. This will bring up the tracking link configuration dashboard.
  1. You now have the choice to toggle “on” two settings:
  • The toggle labelled “Would you like to enable Google Analytics for all links that point to this domain?” allows you to pull standard variables into your tracking links, including Source, Medium, Campaign, and Term.
  • The toggle labelled “Enable custom tracking for all links that point to this domain”, allows you to specify a custom variable that can be appended to your tracking links. This additional variable can be used to distinguish between specific messages going out under a given campaign (e.g., distinguish by date, topic, etc.). Specify the name of your new custom tracking tag by inputting it into the Enter your custom tracking tag field.
