Sending
Lettrove sends as you: from a domain you own and have verified, as a sender address on it.
Nothing goes out before that, by anyone, through any route; a send attempted earlier is refused with
sender_not_configured and a link to set it up.
1. Verify a domain
Settings → Sending → Add a domain. Enter your domain. For a root domain such as acme.com,
Lettrove suggests sending from a subdomain, mail.acme.com: it keeps your company's own mail
reputation separate from campaign mail. Either works.
Lettrove shows the DNS records to publish at your registrar (they prove you own the domain and let inboxes verify your mail; no record for receiving mail is asked for, because Lettrove never receives it). Publish them, then Check now, or wait: Lettrove checks on its own, every minute for 72 hours after you add the domain.
Also on that page: DMARC. Lettrove looks up the DMARC record of your organisation's domain and
tells you whether it is missing, set to none, quarantine or reject. A DMARC policy is what
inboxes expect from a domain that sends mail; without one, more of your mail lands in spam.
A domain can be removed, and its sending key rotated, from the same page.
2. Add a sender address
On a verified domain, add the addresses you send as (hello@mail.acme.com, with a display name) and
choose a default. Test sends and campaigns go out from the default unless you pick another.
3. Send a test
In the editor, Send test sends the email to one address, from your sender. The test and what the provider reported for it (delivered, bounced…) appear in the workspace's Inbox.
4. Send a campaign
Send → Send to a list:
- Pick the lists. One or more. Lettrove summarises the audience first: how many people, how many duplicates across the lists, which fields have blanks, with a sample.
- Personalise. Every
{{contact.…}}tag in the email is checked against the lists' columns; a tag no list can fill stops the send until you change it or pick another list. A tag can carry a fallback for blanks:{{contact.first_name | "there"}}. - Check a real preview, merged for a real person from the list.
- Send now, or at a time up to a year ahead. Opens and clicks are tracked if you leave the switches on.
Then watch the send's page: sent, delivered, bounced, complained, opened, clicked, unsubscribed, for the whole send and per list, with each recipient's own outcome. A scheduled send can be cancelled before it starts (the email itself stays); a send in progress can be stopped, and whoever has not been mailed yet is skipped.
What every recipient gets
- An unsubscribe link. Put
{{unsubscribe_url}}where you want it; it is filled per recipient with a signed link that unsubscribes that person and no one else, and carries nothing personal in the address. Someone who unsubscribes is never mailed again by that workspace. - Tracking, when on: an open pixel and click redirects, each signed the same way. They are added at send time, after the design is compiled, so nobody editing the email can move or remove them. Automatic previews by mail clients are not counted as opens.
Who is skipped
The figures say who was not mailed and why: unsubscribed, no email address, or the second copy of a duplicate across the chosen lists.
