Overview

The Email Delivery Settings feature allows you to configure how emails are delivered from LeadExec to clients or downstream systems. This includes settings for sender addresses, reply-to addresses, email formatting, and fallback behaviors.

Key Functionality

  • Configure From and To Address email addresses.

  • Specify email subject templates or formats.

  • Choose whether to send plain text, HTML, or mixed content.

  • Set default footers or disclaimers included in every email.

  • Define fallback behavior (e.g. if HTML fails, send plain text).

How to Use This Feature

  • From Email Address – This will be the address your client sees in their email when a lead is viewed.

  • To Email Address – The system will deliver emails to the address set on the client record by default. Otherwise, you can input the destination email(s) in this field. To add multiple emails, use a comma to separate them, e.g.:
    email1@email.com,email2@email.com

  • Copy (CC) Addresses – Used to set up CC options for delivery.

  • Blind Copy (BCC) Addresses – Used to set up BCC options for delivery.

SMTP Settings (Optional)

These settings can be used if you want to use your own SMTP server for Email Delivery.

  • SMTP Server – Input the SMTP server address here.

  • SMTP Authentication Required – Select whether SMTP Authentication is required.

  • SMTP Username – Enter SMTP username if SMTP Authentication is enabled.

  • SMTP Password – Enter SMTP password if SMTP Authentication is enabled.

Best Practices

  • Use a friendly, professional From Name that your leads recognize.

  • Keep subject lines concise and relevant.

  • Use HTML sparingly and ensure it degrades gracefully to plain text.

  • Include necessary legal disclaimers or unsubscribe links in footers.

  • Test emails across multiple clients (Gmail, Outlook, mobile) to ensure formatting compatibility.

Troubleshooting

  • Emails not being delivered
    → Check for typos in the sender domain, DNS/SPF/DMARC records, and ensure the “From” address is authorized.

  • Replies not reaching you
    → Confirm the Reply-To address is correct and active.

  • HTML rendering issues
    → Simplify the HTML or ensure fallback plain text is available.

  • Footer or disclaimer not showing
    → Ensure it is appended after any dynamic content, not before.
