Email

Sender settings

Configure the name, reply-to address, and brand kit shown on outbound emails.

Sender settings control how your emails appear to recipients: the display name in the "From" field, the reply-to address, and the brand elements (logo and colour) used in email templates.

Configuration fields

Field Example Used for
sender_name Sweet Dreams Bakery Display name in the From field: "Sweet Dreams Bakery <…>"
sender_email orders@sweetdreams.in Reply-to address — where customer replies go
from_email hello@sweetdreams.in Verified sending address (requires domain setup)
phone_number +919876543210 Stored for future SMS support
brand_logo_url https://cdn.example.com/logo.png Logo in email templates
brand_primary_color #FF5436 Accent colour in email templates

Setting up via dashboard

Communication → Sender Settings

Fill in your business name and reply-to address. These take effect immediately on the next email sent.

Via the API

Get current settings:

GET /comms/v1/sender-settings
x-tenant-id: {your-tenant-id}

Response:

{
  "settings": {
    "tenantId": "tenant_abc",
    "senderName": "Sweet Dreams Bakery",
    "senderEmail": "orders@sweetdreams.in",
    "fromEmail": null,
    "phoneNumber": null,
    "vloziAlias": "sweetdreams",
    "brandLogoUrl": "https://cdn.sweetdreams.in/logo.png",
    "brandPrimaryColor": "#FF5436"
  }
}

Update settings (partial — only fields you include are changed):

PUT /comms/v1/sender-settings
x-tenant-id: {your-tenant-id}
Content-Type: application/json
 
{
  "sender_name": "Sweet Dreams Bakery",
  "sender_email": "orders@sweetdreams.in",
  "brand_logo_url": "https://cdn.sweetdreams.in/logo.png",
  "brand_primary_color": "#FF5436"
}

The PUT uses partial update semantics:

  • Fields you include are written
  • Fields you omit are left unchanged
  • Pass null explicitly to clear a field

Clear a field:

PUT /comms/v1/sender-settings
Content-Type: application/json
 
{ "brand_logo_url": null }

Sender name and reply-to

sender_name appears as the display name in recipients' inboxes:

From: Sweet Dreams Bakery <hello@vlozi.app>
Reply-To: orders@sweetdreams.in

If a customer replies to your email, their client sends the reply to sender_email (your reply-to), not to the Vlozi sending address. This keeps your business email address visible to customers.

From address vs reply-to

Field What it controls
sender_email Where replies go (reply-to header)
from_email The actual sending domain (must be verified — see below)

By default, all emails are sent from the Vlozi domain even if sender_name is set. The from_email field (custom domain) allows you to send from your own domain, but the domain must be verified through your DNS settings first. Contact support to set up custom domain sending.

If you have a Vlozi alias, emails go out as {senderName} <alias@vlozi.app> — no DNS changes needed.

Brand kit

brand_logo_url and brand_primary_color are used in Vlozi's default email templates:

  • The logo appears at the top of newsletter emails
  • The primary colour is used for buttons and accents
  • Newsletter templates automatically pull these values via {{ brand.logo_url }} and {{ brand.primary_color }}

Supported colour formats: #RGB (e.g., #F53) and #RRGGBB (e.g., #FF5436)

NOTE

Brand kit values are read at send time, not baked into stored templates. Changing them updates all future sends immediately.
