MTARGET is a tool that can help you interact with customers, and acquire data to gain more customers. If this is your first time using marketing automation tools, then you are in the right place to start with MTARGET.

Let's get started.

Here you will learn about what new MTARGET users need to know. We will summarize several tutorials so that this can be your guide to start using MTARGET.

Task Overview

Here is a summary of the points that will be discussed:

  1. Complete account profile.

  2. Add Contacts.

  3. Add email sender.

  4. Authenticate sender domain.

  5. Create and send email.

  6. Check email report.

  7. Final Step.

Complete account profile

After registering, you will be asked to complete the basic information in your account profile. If you want to change or update profile information, you can update it in Profile Account.

After completing the profile, make sure you have also verified your account email to access the dashboard.

Add Contacts

The first step to start is to add contacts. These contacts will be the recipients of your emails. There are 2 options for adding contacts, namely adding contacts manually or importing contacts if the contact data you want to upload has a large number.

Read the article on Upload Contacts for more complete information. If you experience problems, also read the guide to solve Troubleshoot in Import Contacts.


Add Email Sender

After preparing the email contacts as recipients, you can start setting up the email sender. This email sender is the email you will use to send emails. Validate to use your email as an email sender.

Here are some important points you need to know about email senders:

  1. The sender email can only be deleted if you have not used it to send emails. Once you have used it to send emails, the email cannot be deleted as a sender.

  2. You can only add sender emails that have the same domain as the first added sender email.

  3. You cannot use free domain emails like Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, and similar. You need to use a personal email domain to use it as an email sender.

For more complete information, you can read about Email Sender here.

Authenticate Domain

This is the most important step in preparing the email sender. After your email is validated, you need to authenticate the domain so that the status of your domain is fully valid and can be used to send emails.

Why is domain authentication important? This is the most frequently asked question. Domain authentication is important to ensure that your email is not detected as spam when sent. As long as your domain reputation is good, the email will avoid being marked as spam.

If you do not understand the domain authentication process, we recommend seeking help from your IT or technical team to assist with email domain authentication.

Create and Send Email

If the email sender has been validated and the domain status is all valid, your email is ready to be used to send emails. Here you will try to send an email using regular email. We also provide other email options such as plain email or HTML Email. If you want to try sending emails using Regular Email, read here for the complete tutorial.
