Verify Sender Email Addresses

Bloomerang Volunteer

Updated over 2 weeks ago

You must verify an email address before you can use it as the From Sender or Reply-To address in email templates. When you verify an email address, you click a link we send to confirm the email address belongs to you.

You can use any verified email address as the Reply-To. You can use only a verified address from an authenticated domain as the From Sender.

Who Can Verify Sender Email Addresses?

Only organization and opportunity managers can verify sender email addresses. If you're a role manager and need your email address validated so you can send emails, contact an organization or opportunity manager.

Verify Sender Email Addresses

To verify an email address:

  1. If you are in more than one organization, make sure you are in the right one.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • For organization-wide communications, click Communications from the side menu, and then click Email Configuration.

    • For opportunity-specific communications:

      • Click Opportunities.

      • Select an opportunity, or use the search box to find and select an opportunity.

      • In the opportunity menu, click Communications, and then click Email Configuration.

  3. On the Email Configuration page, click the Manage Senders tab.

  6. Click Send Verification Link.

  7. Click OK.
    Note: If the email address isn’t part of an authenticated domain, click Continue.

  8. Open the message we sent to that email address.

  9. Click the verification link. The link expires after 24 hours.

If the email address is part of an authenticated domain, the status is now Fully Verified. Otherwise, the status is Partially Verified.

Tip: If the link expires, you can resend it. On the Manage Senders page, hover over the email address and click Actions, and then click Resend Verification Email.
