If, however, you set a Reply-To address in the GMass Settings box,<strong> that setting will override what you have set in your Gmail settings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So where should you set the Reply-To address?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re using a dedicated Gmail\/Google Workspace account for your email campaigns, and you want replies to all of your campaigns to go to an email address different from the From address, then you might as well <strong>set that Reply-To in your Gmail settings<\/strong>, so you don&#8217;t have to remember to set it in the GMass Settings box each time.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re using the same Gmail\/Google Workspace account to send campaigns as you use to manage your personal email, then it&#8217;s <strong>better to set the Reply-To in the GMass settings box<\/strong> for each campaign you send. This is because it&#8217;s likely that you want replies to your personal emails to go to your From Address but you want replies to your campaigns to go elsewhere.<\/p>\n<h3>Why set a Reply-To address at all?<\/h3>\n<p>When a Reply-To address is set for your campaign, replies go to that address <em>instead<\/em> of the From address.<\/p>\n<p>There are many reasons you might want replies to your email campaign to be sent to a different address than your <strong>From Address<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Let\u2019s say you\u2019re sending a promotional campaign to all of your customers, and\u00a0<strong>you want your assistant Mary to handle the replies<\/strong>. Now you could set your\u00a0<strong>Reply-To<\/strong>\u00a0to mary@company.com.<\/li>\n<li>Let\u2019s say you\u2019re sending an announcement out about a new feature in your software product, and you anticipate people replying with questions about the feature. You may want to\u00a0<strong>set your Reply-To to your support address<\/strong>. In GMass\u2019s case, if I were sending a campaign announcing a new GMass feature, I would set the <strong>Reply-To<\/strong>\u00a0to our Zendesk support address.<\/li>\n<li>Let\u2019s say you\u2019re sending a campaign to some VIP contacts, and\u00a0<strong>you want to personally handle the responses<\/strong>. In this case, you would not set a Reply-To at all,\u00a0because you want the replies to come back directly to you. (If the\u00a0<strong>Reply-To<\/strong>\u00a0is blank, replies come back to the\u00a0<strong>From Address<\/strong>\u00a0of the email.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>How do you set the Reply-To in the GMass Settings?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/replyto-insettings-tinified.png\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21665\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/replyto-insettings-tinified.png\" alt=\"Reply To in the GMass settings\" width=\"1804\" height=\"1204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/replyto-insettings-tinified.png 1804w, https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/replyto-insettings-tinified-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/replyto-insettings-tinified-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/replyto-insettings-tinified-768x513.png 768w, https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/replyto-insettings-tinified-1536x1025.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/replyto-insettings-tinified-24x16.png 24w, https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/replyto-insettings-tinified-36x24.png 36w, https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/replyto-insettings-tinified-48x32.png 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1804px) 100vw, 1804px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Just open up the <strong>Settings<\/strong> box with the arrow button, and look for the <strong>Reply-To<\/strong> setting under <strong>Advanced<\/strong>.

If you&#8217;ve configured Gmail to send &#8220;from&#8221; more than one address, you can specify a different <strong>Reply-To<\/strong> for each. Similarly, when using GMass to send mail merge campaigns, whichever <strong>From Address<\/strong> you use in the Gmail <strong>Compose<\/strong> window will determine which <strong>Reply-To address<\/strong> is used.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How the Reply-To header works technically<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you set a Reply-To address, Gmail adds a <strong>Reply-To header<\/strong> to all of the emails you send so that when someone replies to your email, the reply will be sent to the <strong>Reply-To address<\/strong>\u00a0<em>instead<\/em> of your <strong>From Address<\/strong>. Meaning, when somebody <strong>hits Reply<\/strong>, the <strong>To<\/strong> field of their &#8220;reply&#8221; email will be set to the <strong>Reply-To address<\/strong> you set in your account, rather than your <strong>From Address<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>How the timing works<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Gmail Settings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you set a Reply-To in your Gmail settings, GMass will use <strong>whatever Reply-To address is set at the time you hit the GMass button<\/strong>. Let&#8217;s say you change the <strong>Reply-To<\/strong> in your Gmail account to your assistant&#8217;s email address, and then you use GMass to schedule a mail merge campaign for tomorrow afternoon. <em>After scheduling the campaign, you remove the Reply-To address because you want to continue your day responding to your person-to-person emails, and you want those replies to come back to you, not your assistant.<\/em> When the mail merge campaign sends the next afternoon, it will <strong>still send with a Reply-To set to your assistant&#8217;s address<\/strong>, since that&#8217;s what was set in your Gmail account at the time you scheduled the campaign.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GMass Settings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you set a Reply-To in the GMass settings box, then you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/make-changes-campaign-already-scheduled\">modify<\/a> that up until the point in time when GMass sends the campaign, and the latest setting will always be used.<\/p>\n<h3>A history lesson on Reply-To and the Gmail API<\/h3>\n<p>Before GMass had its <em>own<\/em> Reply-To field in the <strong>Settings<\/strong> box, it could only set the <strong>Reply-To<\/strong> based on your Gmail account settings for each <strong>From Address<\/strong>. Even that limited ability took time and effort because of how GMass stores campaign data and how Gmail stores DRAFTS. GMass uses a Gmail <strong>DRAFT<\/strong> as a template of each campaign you create.<\/p>\n<p>A Gmail <strong>Draft<\/strong> itself doesn&#8217;t carry the <strong>Reply-To setting<\/strong> from your Gmail account. That&#8217;s because, unlike the <strong>Subject<\/strong>, <strong>Message<\/strong>, <strong>From Address<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>Attachments<\/strong>, your <strong>Reply-To setting<\/strong> in Gmail is tied to your entire Gmail account, and not specific to a particular message or <strong>Draft<\/strong>. So, since GMass used the <strong>Gmail Draft<\/strong> as a means of storing campaign details, it previously didn&#8217;t have access to your Gmail account&#8217;s <strong>Reply-To setting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, Gmail introduced a <strong>&#8220;Settings&#8221; API<\/strong>, which allows programmers to <strong>pull the Reply-To setting from your Gmail account<\/strong>. This enabled GMass to query your account to pull the <strong>Reply-To address<\/strong>, and if one is set, then it could use it when sending your emails for your campaign.<\/p>\n<p>This approach lacked flexibility, because <em>if you wanted replies for just a particular campaign to go to a different address, you would have to change your Gmail account-wide Reply-To setting<\/em>, and that would affect even 1-on-1 emails that you may have sent around the same time you sent your mail merge. You would have to remember to change your\u00a0<strong>Reply-To<\/strong>\u00a0back after your campaign is finished. Furthermore, changing the\u00a0<strong>Reply-To<\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a0<strong>Gmail Settings<\/strong>\u00a0just for a GMass campaign takes you out of the GMass experience.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why we introduced the ability to<strong> set your Reply-To address right in the GMass Settings box <\/strong>&#8212; so that \u00a0you can change or remove the <strong>Reply-To<\/strong>\u00a0for each individual email marketing campaign you send.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When sending a mail merge campaign in Gmail, you can set a Reply-To address individually on each campaign, by setting it directly in the GMass Settings box.
