Hello, lemlister!

We are delighted to welcome you to our family.

We understand your self-sufficiency, but we are here to assist with your onboarding. We have put together a concise guide to introduce you to lemlist's exciting features.

Let's begin.

Account settings:

Please take note that on lemlist, you have two types of email addresses:

Login - Exclusively used for login purposes, and invoices will be sent to your login email address.

Email Provider - The email address associated with the email provider section is the one you will utilize for sending campaigns.

It's important to highlight that your login email can differ from the email provider linked for sending campaigns.

Then, link lemlist to your email provider in a matter of seconds from the lemlist dashboard page:

It’s a good idea to set up your signature and use the {{signature}} variable to add it to any campaign.

Maximize your email deliverability by setting up your DNS.

Please note that this setup needs to be done from your email provider side but on lemlist you are able to check if your DNS settings are configured well.


If checks are showing DKIM, DMARC, and SPF green - you are good to go 😎

To ensure lemlist operates effectively and maintains top-notch deliverability, having a custom tracking domain (CTD), SPF, DMARC, and DKIM is essential.

While it may not sound particularly glamorous, rest assured that these elements are crucial for optimal performance.

Moreover, your custom tracking domain enables you to monitor the click rate of your campaigns!
