Watchlyst allows you to send customer notification emails using an email address associated with your own domain. Using a custom sender email helps maintain your brand identity and can improve customer trust and email deliverability.
By default, Watchlyst notifications are sent using the app’s default sender email address.
Before You Begin
Before using a custom email address, make sure you have access to the domain you want to use. You will need to verify ownership of the domain before Watchlyst can send notifications from it.
Set Up a Custom Sender Email
- Go to Settings.
- Locate the Email Settings section.
- Select the "custom email" option from dropdown and Enter the email address you want to use for sending notifications.
- Click on Send Verification Email.
- An email (from [email protected]) will be sent to the address you provided. Open this email and click on the verification link. The email that you will receive will look like this:
Note: The custom email address can only be used after the associated domain has been successfully verified.
6. After clicking the link you will get and confirmation as shown below:
7. You may go back to app dashboard and check, the email will be marked "verified"
Domain Status
- Verified – The domain has been successfully verified and can be used for sending notifications.
- Unverified – The domain still requires verification or the required DNS configuration has not been detected.
- Verification Failed – The domain configuration could not be validated. Check the required DNS records and try again.
Use the Verified Domain for Notifications
Once your domain is verified, Watchlyst will use the configured email address as the From address when sending customer notifications.
For example:
From: [email protected]
This allows notification emails to be sent using your store's domain instead of Watchlyst's default sender address.
What Happens If You Don't Configure a Custom Domain?
If you do not configure a custom sender email or domain, Watchlyst will continue using the app's default sender email address for customer notifications.
Note:
- If you don’t see the verification email in your inbox, check your spam or junk folder.
- To update your email address, Simply click on "change" button and follow the same steps with the new address.
