Sender Details: Sample Flows

This article presents a possible use case and corresponding sample flow that you can support. It provides a useful starting point as you plan your implementation.

Publish an email campaign from a new sender

This use case demonstrates how to send an email campaign from a new sender. For example, if a business now accepts bookings and wants to start a new email campaign, they may want to send it from a different sender, such as Yoga Bookings: [bookings@yogawithpuppies.com].

Currently, there's a limitation when publishing an email campaign with the Campaign API. The API automatically publishes campaigns only from the default sender. For this use case to work, the new sender needs to be set as the default.

To publish a campaign from a new sender:

1. Create and verify the new email address using the Sender Emails API.
2. Call Create Sender Details passing the verified email address into the fromEmailAddress field. Also, enter the sender's name into the fromName field. The name can't contain an email address other than fromEmailAddress. Save the value of the id field for later use.
3. Call Mark Sender Details as Default and pass the saved ID.
4. Call Publish Campaign to send out the campaign. The campaign will automatically use the new sender details.
