Frequently asked questions

How to make a sender as default?

When you create a new campaign, Mailmeteor for Sheets automatically selects the default sender. You can change the default sender by following these steps:

1. From senders list, click on “Manage senders”.
2. Inside the Dashboard, next to a sender, click the three-dot menu (⋮) next to it and then select Set as default.

Now on, Mailmeteor for Sheets automatically pre-selects this sender.

Which email services are available?

You can configure a sender with Gmail/Google Workspace or Outlook. Other services (such as Zoho, Yahoo, etc.) can not be directly configured within Mailmeteor. But you can add them as an alias to a compatible account and then use configure this account as a sender.

Can I use an alias configured in Gmail?

Yes! That’s totally possible. First, you need to configure an alias inside Gmail, then you just need to configure this alias as a sender in Mailmeteor. Check our guide on using an alias to send emails.

Checklist before using an email alias

1. Make sure to copy and paste the exact email address in Mailmeteor. If there is a typo in your sending email address, your sender will not be configured and emails won’t be sent from it.
2. Verify your email alias rate limits. If you want to send emails from a non-Gmail alias, like Yahoo, OVH, or Outlook, your sending limit may vary depending on the email service provider’s email quota.
