Email sending

Send client emails from your own domain, with your sender name and your reply-to address. The sending domain (DKIM, SPF and Return-Path), the sender details, and how the From and Reply-To addresses are chosen. Agency and Agency Plus.

Client emails (report delivery, review requests, client and team invites, notifications on your domain) can go out from your own domain under your own name. Set it up in White label > Email, which has two parts:

  • Sending domain: the domain emails are sent from

  • Sender details: sender name, reply-to email, support email and business address

The Email tab is there from the Agency plan. Saving changes and adding, verifying or removing a sending domain need an active subscription, not a trial.

Sending domain

  1. Go to White label > Email

  2. Enter a subdomain to send from, for example mail.youragency.com, and save

  3. Add the records shown (DKIM, SPF and a Return-Path record) at your DNS provider, exactly as shown. If your DNS provider supports automatic setup (Domain Connect), Connect with and the provider's name above the records adds them for you after you approve them there. It shows on app.rankprompt.com only. Otherwise, and always on your own domain, the page names your provider and links its guide.

  4. Click Verify DNS. The records can take a few minutes to propagate; Re-check DNS checks again

Once the domain is verified, emails send from reports@ your sending domain. Use a dedicated subdomain rather than your root domain, so these records do not get in the way of your regular mail. A sending domain can be verified by one account at a time. Remove disconnects it, and emails go back to the platform sender until a sending domain is verified again.


Sender details

Field

What it does

Sender name

The name clients see as the sender of report, invitation and notification emails

Reply-to email

Where client replies to report and invite emails go

Support email

Shown in email footers, the client portal and the Help entry of your app. Used as the reply-to address when Reply-to email is empty

Business address

A physical mailing address, required by CAN-SPAM before you can send outreach emails; it goes in your email footers

The same sender details are used by Prospecting (Sender settings): change them in one place and both follow.


How From and Reply-To are chosen

From

  • Sending domain verified (Agency or Agency Plus): reports@your-sending-domain

  • Otherwise: Rank Prompt's notification address

  • The display name is your Sender name. Without one, emails sent on your agency domain show your company name

Reply-To

  1. Reply-to email, if set

  2. Otherwise Support email, if set

  3. Otherwise Rank Prompt support, except on your own domain, where no reply-to is added

Set at least a reply-to email so client replies reach you.


Which emails use it

  • Automated client report delivery (on an active subscription)

  • The free report your lead widget promised, and the invitation to claim it

  • Article review requests and review activity

  • Team and client invites sent from your domain

  • Notifications for people signed in on your domain

Password reset and email confirmation come from the sign-in provider, with a neutral template, and are not sent from your sending domain.

Outreach and campaign emails sent through a connected Gmail account go out from that Gmail address; these settings do not change them. Once your white label domain is live, the unsubscribe link and the open tracking image in those emails point to your domain, so a client never sees ours. Emails sent before keep working.


FAQ

Do I need the agency domain to use a sending domain?

No. They are independent: you can verify a sending domain without an agency domain, and the other way round.

Can I use the same subdomain for both?

Use separate subdomains (for example mail. for sending and clients. for the app), so each set of DNS records stays simple.

Will emails land in spam?

DKIM and SPF are what keep them out. Keep the records in place after the domain is verified: without them, mail from your domain fails those checks.

Does the Agency plan get all of this?

Yes. From Agency you can set sender details and add and verify a sending domain. Mail goes out from reports@your-sending-domain as soon as the domain is verified.
