If you send a mail merge with an alias or have configured a different reply-to address, responses will not arrive at the email address from which the mail merge is sent.
To track all responses, you must configure your aliases and reply-to addresses to forward to the email address from which the mail merge is sent.
Procedure
- Log in to your second Gmail account (your alias account or your "reply-to" account).
In our example, our primary account is support@yet-another-mail-merge.com, and our secondary account is alice@yet-another-mail-merge.com. - From the top-right corner, click the Settings icon and click See all settings.
- Click the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab and click the Add a forwarding address button.
- Enter the primary email address (in our example: support@yet-another-mail-merge.com) and click Next.
A pop-up window requests confirmation of the forwarding email address. - Click Proceed.
info If your alias or reply-to address are in a domain different from the email address of the mail merge, Gmail sends an additional confirmation email which you must open and accept. For example:- Email address of the mail merge: support@yet-another-mail-merge.com
- Alias or reply-to address: alice@yamm.com
- Select Forward a copy...
- Click Save changes.
Result
The Gmail settings of the configured alias or reply-to address are now set to forward all incoming email to the email address from which the mail merge was sent.
Responses sent to the alias or reply-to address will then be correctly detected by the YAMM tracker.
