An email alias is an additional email address that redirects incoming messages to your primary email inbox. It allows you to send and receive emails using an alternative address without creating a separate email account.
When you connect an email alias to Reply, the platform uses your primary email account's connection to send outreach campaigns from the alias address. This helps you manage multiple sending addresses from a single connected mailbox.
To connect an email alias to Reply, follow these steps:
Navigate to the Email Accounts tab of the Settings page.
Click the New email account button.
In the setup dialog window, select Other Provider and click Continue.
In mailbox settings, enable the I want to use different email servers for sending and receiving emails toggle.
Then proceed to IMAP settings:
In the User Name field, use your primary email ([email protected]).
In the IMAP Host field, enter the address of the IMAP server (imap.gmail.com for Gmail accounts).
In the IMAP Port field, enter the port of the IMAP server (993 for Gmail accounts).
In the Password field, enter the password for your primary mailbox. If 2FA is enabled in Gmail, you will need to use an app password instead of your regular password. Here is an article on how to create the app password.
Toggle on the Enable SSL option (for Gmail accounts).
Now move to the SMTP section:
In the Email field, enter the alias email address ([email protected]).
Make sure your User Name field has your primary mailbox ([email protected]).
In the Reply to field, use the primary mailbox you want to receive replies to ([email protected]).
In the Sender Name field, paste your name.
In the SMTP Host field, enter smtp.gmail.com (for Gmail accounts).
In the SMTP Port field, enter 465.
In the Password field, enter the password for your alias mailbox. If it is a Gmail account with 2FA enabled, you will need to use an app password instead of your regular password. Here is an article on how to create the app password.
Toggle on the Enable SSL option (for Gmail accounts).
Once you are done with the setup, click the Test button and ensure the color of the dots is green:
It means your alias is well-connected to Reply.
