If you need to send a message on behalf of someone else and want it to appear as if it's coming directly from them, you can use aliases. Aliases allow you to send emails from a different email address specifically for certain communications, giving the impression that the message is originating from the person you're representing.
Prerequisites
- Your Exchange account has Send As permissions for the alias email address.
- Learn more about permission levels in Microsoft Exchange.
- Test if you can send an un-tracked email from the alias in Outlook.
- An Employee Email user account has been created for the alias email address.
Adding an Alias for the Latest Add-in
- In the From field of an Email Designer draft, open the alias selection dropdown.
- Click Add New Alias.
- Click Add An Account.
-
Type in the email address that you want to use as an alias.
If you have approval from your IT or Admin to send it from this address, you can successfully Save.
Sending From an Alias
-
Open your Staffbase Email sidebar for Outlook 365 in your preferred platform and authenticate.
-
Navigate to the Drafts section (second tab).
-
Hover over a draft you would like to send with your alias.
-
Select your preferred method of sending.
-
From within the Send Draft or Schedule Draft window, click on the From dropdown to select an email.
-
Click Add New Alias.
-
Click Add an Account.
-
Enter the email address to be used as an Alias and click Save.
- As an authenticated user, you receive an email from the email address that you added. The email address is now available in the Send as another account window.
-
Close this window, and the added Alias is now available in the From dropdown.
Authenticated users can now send their drafts with this Alias.
The O365 integration mechanism to verify your alias is to send an email through Microsoft Graph API. If a user can send an email through Graph API, they can use the alias feature within the O365 add-in.
