# Email settings

> Configure email domains, Google Postmaster, footer templates, and tracking

## What you'll learn

By the end of this guide, you'll know how to configure email settings in
Masivo, including domain verification, Google Postmaster, footer templates, and tracking controls.

## Step 1: Open email settings

Navigate to **Marketing Automation > Settings > Email**.

This tab controls domain infrastructure and default email template behavior.

## Step 2: Configure email domains

In **Email Domains**, add and manage up to **3 domains**.

Flow summary:

* Add a domain and save the form.
* Masivo registers the domain with SES.
* Configure shown DNS records in your DNS provider.
* Use **Verify** to update domain status.

Common states:

* `not_started`
* `pending`
* `verified`
* `failed`
* `temporary_failure`

<Note>
  The DNS table includes required SPF and DKIM records, plus a suggested DMARC
  record (`_dmarc`) to improve deliverability posture.

## Step 3: Connect Google Postmaster

Google Postmaster reports how Gmail evaluates each sending domain. Before
connecting it:

* Configure the same domain under **Email Domains** in Masivo.
* Use a Google account that owns or can manage the sending domain.

In Masivo's **Google Postmaster** section, click **Connect Google** and
authorize access. Masivo stores the encrypted connection in the account's email
settings and only displays Postmaster domains that exactly match configured
sending domains.

If Google reports a domain as unverified, click **Get DNS record**, add the TXT
record to the domain's DNS configuration, then click **Verify**. Masivo registers
the domain in Postmaster when needed and checks Google's verification status
from the same screen.

After connecting, open **Analytics > Emails > Deliverability** to review:

* Gmail sender compliance and deliverability verdicts
* Spam, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and TLS rates
* Delivery errors and temporary failures
* Feedback loop IDs and spam rates

<Note>
  Postmaster data covers personal Gmail accounts, is not real-time, and may be
  absent when a domain is below Google's traffic or privacy thresholds.
</Note>

## Step 4: Configure footer template

In **Footer**, choose your default footer template type:

* **Drag and drop**
* **HTML**

Use the footer editor to create or update your footer template. The resulting
schema/HTML is saved as account-level settings for email templates.

## Step 5: Configure email tracking

In **Email Tracking**, configure **Tracking open**.

<Tip>
  The UI marks open tracking as "not recommended" due to deliverability and
  privacy tradeoffs.
</Tip>

## Step 6: Save and handle onboarding case

Click **Save** in form actions after updating settings.

Special case:

* If your account has verified domains but no available dedicated IPs, the
  settings form is replaced by an onboarding flow to contact support and enable
  sending capacity.
