Create a Custom Email Sender
In this guide, learn how to create a custom email sender that you can use to send email communication from within FlexWurx.
In FlexWurx, you can add your company email (e.g. name@company.com) as a sender, which allows you to send emails, like the resident welcome email, from your company email instead of the default hi@flexwurx.com.
Step 1: Navigate to the Email Settings
To navigate to email settings:
Go to Settings
Click the Settings button at the bottom of your sidebar.
Go to Organization Settings
Click the Organization button on the settings sidebar.
Go to Organization Email Settings
Click Email in the navigation bar near the top of the page.
You should now be at a page that looks like this:
Step 2: Create Sender
To create the sender, first open the Add Sender modal by clicking the Add Sender button.
You should now be on a screen like this:
Now, fill out the form. Here is an explanation of each item you need to fill out:
- **Nickname: **This is used to identify the sender in the FlexWurx Dashboard. It will never be displayed to recipients. It _must _be unique.
- **From Email: **This is the email address you would like to verify as a sender and send emails from.
- **From Name: **This is the name associated with the email you are verifying.
- **Address: **This is your current business address. This is needed to comply with CAN-SPAM and CASL.
Once you have filled out the form completely and there are no errors, click Add Sender to add the sender to FlexWurx.
Step 3: Verify Sender
The final step you need to do is verify your sender. To start this process, you should have recieved an email from support@sendgrid.com. That email should look like this:
Where the blackbox is in this image, there should be the email you are attempting to verify.
Go ahead and click the Verify Sender Identify button. That should direct you to this page:
If you are directed to any other page or asked to enter **any **information once you click that link, DO NOT enter any information and exit the page immediately.
Now, you can go back to the _Organization Email Settings _page in FlexWurx and reload the page. Once you do, you should see that your sender is verified, as seen below.
