Getting Started #
To get started with Newsletter by Mailpoet, we recommend you begin at Newsletter by Mailpoet > Settings. This will take you to the Basic Settings tab.
Your First step will be to set the default sender name and email address. You will notice a warning when you hover over this section.
In order to use your email to send your newsletter, we have to validate that it belongs to you.
To do this, email support at help@birthingyourbrand.com with the subject line “Newsletter Email Validation” and provide the email you would like to use in the body of the email. We will send a validation through Mailpoet to that email address. Follow the instructions on the email.
NOTICE= For free email address from Google, Yahoo, or Outlook, once your email is authorized your email will be rewritten when sending out emails. For example, janedoe@gmail.com will become janedoe=gmail.com@replies.sendingservice.net. This is to prevent a limitation within the free email providers on email deliverability. The Reply-to address will NOT be rewritten.
Other options under the Basic Settings include:
- Allow visitors to subscribe through comments
- Allow visitors to subscribe through the registration form
- Select a page and lists for the subscribers to manage their subscriptions
- Select a page for the unsubscribe page
- Enable/Disable stats notifications emails to receive your newsletter’s stats 24 hours after it has been sent
- Enable/Disable new subscribers notifications emails to receive notifications when someone subscribes
- Select lists to display and grab the shortcode of the archive page
- Grab the shortcode to display the total number of subscribers
Once complete, you can select the tab at the top of the page titled Sign-up Confirmation.
- On this page, you can edit the email that is sent when a person subscribes to your newsletter.
- Double opt-in (new subscriber must confirm by selecting link in email) is required.
