E-mail masking explained
This article assumes you have read this article about how to set up auto email responders and that you have chosen the email address you wish to use and have a Standard Plan or higher.
Below are more technical details on how to mask your email domain so that emails sent to entrants originate from your domain.
BeeLiked currently chooses Mailchimp / Mandrill as it's email partner. Therefore masking your email address for automated emails follows the settings laid out in the following article:
Below is a summary of the information.
1. Send Request BeeLiked Support
Currently we require that you reach out to the BeeLiked support team to enable auto emails on your BeeLiked Account. You will need to have a Standard Plan or higher.
When contacting the support team, please inform us which email address you would like your emails to come from. You must have full access to the settings for the domain you choose your emails to come from.
Once the email has been added to the BeeLiked system, we will be able to give you the details for masking your email domain.
2 Add the following records to your domain's records
DKIM
Create two CNAME records: one with the name mte1._domainkey.yourdomain.com with the value dkim1.mandrillapp.com, and another with the name mte2._domainkey.yourdomain.com and the value dkim2.mandrillapp.com
DMARC
Create and save a TXT record in your DNS with a name of _dmarc.yourdomain.com and a value of v=DMARC1; p=none
Replace yourdomain.com with the domain you're setting up. Some domain hosts automatically add yourdomain.com after the initial value—contact your domain provider for any specifics.
3. Finally, let us know so we can complete the setup
Having set your DNS records, please contact BeeLiked Support to let us know as we need to complete the verification and permission for your account to use this domain.
To do this, we have two options:
a) we can trigger a system email to an email at your chosen domain - so you must be able to receive emails at a monitored inbox at this domain. You will need to be able to access this email and forward it immediately back to us at support@beeliked.com (and let us know you have done this).
b) we can generate a unique text record for you to add to your domain records.
4. Once your email settings are enabled
With your settings enabled you will now see the option to add auto emails (set up in the Builder) to each of your promotions.
a) You must configure the email from address so it comes from your newly set up email:
b) You can now write your email. If you have an html template you can also view the source and paste that in for a more professional layout.
c) Remember you can use the Shortcodes / placeholder options to dynamically populate the contents of your email.
For example:
First Name =
Insert the last coupon issued ( coupon code must be present on result message)
Complete result message =
We recommend you do reach out to our Support team for help set up your email, especially if you wish to include unique coupon codes. We can help ensure your email shows the details you want it to.
Finally, remember to switch email ON.
