Reply-To Email Address
What is Reply-To email address?
Reply-To email address is the email address where you want to receive the email replies. This email address is usually different than the 'From' address.
For example:
'[email protected]' is the Reply-To address. When a respondent clicks 'Reply', the reply email will be sent to '[email protected]' instead of '[email protected]' which is the From email address.
Why to use different Reply To email address?
There can be multiple reasons you might want replies to your email campaign to be sent to a different address than your From Address.
-
Let’s say you’re sending a promotional campaign to all of your customers, and you want your support team to handle the replies. Then you could set your Reply-To to [email protected].
-
Let’s say you’re sending a product satisfaction survey to your customers asking for their satisfaction. You may want to set your Reply-To to your customer service address. Then you could set your Reply-To to [email protected]
-
Let’s say you’re sending a survey to some VIP contacts, and you want to personally handle the responses. In this case, you would not set a Reply-To to your own email address.
