Benefits of Using Your Own Email Address

  • Increased Open Rates: Emails from a recognised sender are more likely to be opened by recipients. Using your own email makes it clear who the email is from, reducing the chances of your emails being ignored or marked as spam.
  • Personal Touch: Personalised email addresses add a professional touch and build trust. It shows your recipients that the communication is coming from a legitimate source and not a generic, unmonitored account.
  • Customisable: You can change your email address anytime as needed. Each new email just needs to be added and verified in the same way.

Changing Your Email Address

  1. Update Your Email: If you need to use a different email address, simply enter the new email in the ‘Preferred email address’ field.
  2. Verify the New Email: Click ‘Verify Email’ for the new address and complete the verification process as before.

How It Works

  • After Verification: Once verified, all request reminders, notifications, and invitations will be sent from your personalised email address instead of the default ‘noreply@gatheroo.io‘.
  • Management Flexibility: You can revert to the default email or switch to another verified email at any time.
