Setting up an Approved Sender User
If the new user will be sending out press releases, they will need to be set up as an Approved Sender. Check out this product tutorial which will walk you through these steps on your screen, or read below to learn more!
- Select Settings from the left-hand side navigation bar
- Select Approved Senders
- Select the purple New Email Account button in the top right corner (if you do not see this, check your user settings to make sure you are set up as an administrator)
- Complete the sender form with your name, email address and relevant company information
- Select Save
- A pop-up will appear saying Confirmation Email Sent to (Your Email Address here). Note that the email address used as an example in the GIF below is help@meltwater.com
- Within your email inbox, open the email we sent you and click “Confirm Email” to verify ownership of the email address you provided
- Once we have processed the information, you should be ready send emails via Meltwater
Approved Sender Best Practices
- Use your business email address to ensure that your target audience has context about who’s sending them information. We therefore strongly advise against using a private email domain (e.g. jane.doe@gmail.com) or using a general company email address (e.g. press@companyname.com)
Check out this article for more information on Approved Senders, or for troubleshooting.
