How to Send Emails from your Business Email Address with SimplyMeet.me

Professionalism is the name of the game! You know as well as anyone that sending messages from a generic email address does not scream professional business. Sure, you have a “no-reply@simplymeet.me” address, but that’s no good if your clients don’t recognise SimplyMeet.me from your booking page, have a recognisable domain that your clients can identify and safelist on their email accounts. This is where linking your business email address with your automated booking system by SMTP will save you time

The functionality of SimplyMeet.me allows you to send automated emails to your clients, but that won’t get you anywhere if clients don’t get or recognise who is sending them. 

So now you know why you need a professional email address for your automated messaging, but you need to know how to do it.

Which business email should you use?

Before you set up the email address, you want your mail automation to come from; you will need to decide whether to have a single or multiple addresses. For ease of keeping your inbox clear of clutter, you are better off creating a “no-reply” business email address for your automated messaging.

Having no-reply at the beginning of your email tells clients not to reply directly to your email. It also keeps your business email free from unnecessary responses to automated emails. However, ensure that you make your business email address available if clients genuinely need to send you a message.
