Prepare to use Messaging

Before sending your first message, you should consider and prepare the following: 

1. Domain Authentication

• Who looks after your domain?
• What sender addresses will you be using?

Domain Authentication improves your sender reputation and helps make sure your emails stay out of the spam filter. See here: Domain Authentication

2. Verifying your sender addresses

• Have you added your sender addresses?
• Have you verified your sender addresses within your Audience Republic account?
  See here: Sender addresses

3. Create a list and import contacts to a list

• What are your contacts' opt-in statuses? 
• Does your contact data have any tags? See here: How to create, add or remove tags 
• Have you created a list in the Messaging Menu? See here: Create a list or a dynamic list
• Have you added contacts to the list? See here: Add contacts to a list

4. Create your email

• Have you created an email? See here: Create an email
• Do you need to create an email template? See here: Create an email template
