Mailing Suite Profile

Before you can send any emails from the Oomiji platform, you will have to set up your Mailing Suite Profile. This only needs to be done once and you may need help from your IT department or your website developer. You can access these settings by going to your profile in the upper right corner and clicking on your name. On the drop-down menu, select Mailing Suite Profile.

There are two parts to this process: Domain Name Verification and Email Verification.

Domain Name Verification

To verify your domain name, you will need to change your DNS records by adding one TXT record and three CNAME records with the text Oomiji provides for you. Adding these records to your domain name ensures that any emails sent from Oomiji are validated by recipient email service providers and that your messages are delivered to your subscribers.

Depending on where your domain name is registered, this process will be slightly different but your IT/webmaster will be able to assist you. Additionally, we provide links to several of the more common service providers: 
GoDaddy
NameCheap
Dreamhost
Amazon Web Services
Google Domains

Once you’ve added the record, it may take 48 to 72 hours for the changes to propagate. You can check on the status by coming back to the Mailing Suite Profile. Once the domain name is validated, the status will change from pending to Success. 

Email Verification

The email address which you used to set up the account may or may not be the email you want to use to send out your emails. In this section, you will add any email addresses you want to use to send out emails. We usually recommend setting up a dedicated mailbox for your marketing emails, such as news@yourdomainname.com, because it will not be tied to an individual’s mailbox. This becomes especially helpful when managing all the return messages you will receive on email deployment, such as out-of-office messages or change of email address messages. 

To add a new email, add from the name, from email address, and reply-to email address and click Add Email Identity. As soon as you do that, you will receive a confirmation email from Amazon Web Services with a URL you will need to click on to confirm you have access to the mailbox. This link will expire in 24 hours.

The first email you add will become your default sending address. You can add and verify multiple email addresses to use with different types of mailings. Before you can set up an email with a different sending address, you will have to come back to the Mailing Suite Profile and make that address the default one.
