Can I change the Reply To address for marketing campaigns?

[smcd]

I've sent email campaigns and had customers tell me they've hit Reply to send our team an email back, which I don't receive. They didn't notice their email is then addressed to something like [email protected]. Is there a way to set the reply-to address for a campaign to my company email address so that customers can reply to them? Thanks!

Hi @jjbarber! Great question and welcome to the seller community. 🙂

I've merged your post to an existing thread where Helen answers your question for you. If you still have trouble, please let me know!

I, too, would like the option to change the "reply-to" address in marketing campaigns. Thanks.

This reply was created from merging an existing thread: Reply Template for marketing campaigns

I found a thread about changing the "reply-to" email address for marketing campaigns, and I, too, would like to see that. Right now, however, I'm wondering if there's a way to change the template of our replies. For example, a customer responds to our marketing campaign and we respond back to them. The design of our replies is pretty blah, and even a bit 'messy' when they have email signatures with links that then get turned into lines of code. Is there a way to change how these replies look? 

I tested this by responding to myself. Attached is a screenshot of what my reply looked like. 

I would actually really just love to be able to have customer replies go directly to my email, where I could then respond to them directly from my email vs within Square Marketing. I get why it's set up this way, but it's not necessary for me and I'd like to have the choice.

If you scoll down below my first screenshot here, you'll see what it looks like for a customer to keep the conversation going. I don't want them to have to go to a website to continue replying. My customers don't have time for this. They want to be able to just reply from their own email inbox. This gets pretty convoluted pretty quickly if you're having an engaged conversation with a customer. I don't want it to look like we're texting, or on social media. I want a more personal experience. How can we fix this?

The request to edit the appearance of the reply and sender email would be considered a feature request, @tifholmes. 📧

One suggestion from our Appointments team here is that you could set the email to forward to your personal email inbox rather than the email address associated with your Square account. Direct messages would require you to pull up the message in a web browser from the email notification. Please let us know if you have questions about this!

Our team is working towards introducing new features to reduce friction - but for now, messages are limited to email notices and a link to reply. I've merged your post into the thread where others expressed interest in this, so that you will receive a notification if an update is posted here.

We use Square Marketing and when I send messages to my subscribers, they come from an email similar to this:

<Company Name> [email protected]

Many customers have indicated that these go to spam and they don't see them. Is there a way to update this to come from either 

1 - something less spammy (even [email protected] would be better)

2 - an email from our business domain?

Thanks for any help.

Hello @Shannon-Soaked thanks for your question. I didn't realize the emails I was sending were formatted like this; the email program I use shows my Store/User Name so I assumed they came from my business domain. But when I click on my name in the From: field, i see exactly what you're seeing with the Squaremktg address. I'm not sure if there is any way to change this...but I did find in the Marketing tab in my Dashboard, a place under Text marketing to input/edit my company name. It's currently set to my store name which is what I'm seeing...but like I said I also see the generic address info underlying the email from field.

Maybe someone with more tech experience can add more here to help solve your issue.

[Shannon-Soaked]

Thanks, Charlie. Yes, I have the "friendly name" of the store which shows on the emails, but when you click on it, it gives those strange marketing emails in the underlying from field. Thanks for the response, though! Hopefully someone will pop in and give us a little more insight.

Hey @Shannon-Soaked,

Currently, there's no way to change the address from which our email marketing campaigns are sent. We've moved your question here, where other sellers ask the same question. 

Hope this helps!
