Troubleshooting

My 'From Email' is not being accepted!

Ensure you are using a valid custom domain email address and that there are no typos or spaces in the email address field.

My email was sent using the wrong Sender Profile!

Review the Campaign or Automation email's assigned Sender Profile. If the correct Sender Profile is selected, please reach out to our Support Team.
