7. A confirmation email will be sent to the inbox of the email address you entered in step 2. Open the email and click on the Continue to Verification button.

8. A new webpage will open and you will click on the Verify my Email button.

9. Once verified, you’ll be brought back to the email settings page. You should see your email address listed in the Email Accounts section. At this point, you’ll be able to send email announcements from the app and view communication history with journalists/influencers in our Connect database.

When a verified email address includes a domain name that is not yet authenticated, the application will display a yellow banner in two locations:

• Click on the Go to the settings page link.

• Click on the Contact Support link.

A. From field: This is a field that will automatically prepopulate with the email address you verified. This field is editable in the event you need the support ticket sent to a different email inbox. 

B. Body of the email that will be sent to the support team. They are trained on how to handle this type of request and will respond with the next steps for you to begin the Domain Authentication process. This field is not editable. It should include all domain names that are pending authentication. This means that if multiple users have verified multiple email addresses that are at a variety of domain names, the list under “Email Domains” could be longer. 

Once a request has been sent via the application, the copy in the banner will change on the Email Settings Page to reflect that the request is in progress. If another user on your account happens to add a new email address domain, the banner state will change back to allow the other user to fire off another support request.  

While the request is pending, the banner call to action will change from “Contact Support” to “DKIM setup in progress, chat with support”. Click on the DKIM setup in progress, chat with Support link to open the Chat window, allowing you to request a status update or make another inquiry to the Support Team.

B. Integrate and Verify My Account (for sending Email Announcements and Personalised Pitches)
