| Set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC | These DNS records authenticate your domain and reduce the risk of emails being marked as spam or spoofed. Essential for email security and inbox placement. |
| Avoid using port 25 | Many cloud servers block port 25 to prevent spam. Use 587 with TLS or 465 with SSL instead for reliable and secure delivery. |
| Use strong authentication | Always use secure credentials (strong passwords or API keys) and enable 2FA on your email service account to prevent unauthorized access. |
| Send test emails after changes | Use the built-in test feature to verify email delivery after modifying SMTP or template settings. This helps catch misconfigurations early. |
| Monitor email logs regularly | Review logs to detect failed deliveries, authentication errors, or blacklisted IPs. This helps maintain a healthy email system. |
| Avoid spammy content | Don't use all caps, clickbait language, or excessive punctuation in subjects or content. These can trigger spam filters. |
| Write clear, concise subject lines | Use meaningful and personalized subject lines that reflect the purpose of the email and encourage opens. |
| Maintain branding in templates | Ensure templates reflect your company’s tone, colors, and branding. This creates trust and consistency in user communication. |
| Keep templates updated | Review and refresh email templates regularly to fix outdated information, broken links, or formatting issues. |
