Editing Different mailing address (section)

= How do I use a different mailing address in my campaign footer? =

In this article, you'll learn how to change the physical mailing address that appears in the footer of your email campaigns within ActiveCampaign. This feature is valuable for ensuring compliance with email marketing regulations, as it allows you to display a correct mailing address for your brand or organization. 

This capability is available for various subscription plans including Starter, Plus, Pro, and Enterprise, ensuring that a wide array of users can benefit from this function.

== How to access this feature ==

You can access the mailing address settings for your campaign directly from the ActiveCampaign dashboard. It's important to note that this update can only be made for direct campaigns that have either a "Draft" or "Scheduled" status. If your campaign has already been sent, you won't be able to change the mailing address for that particular campaign. However, you can make this change any time for automated campaigns.

== Step-by-step instructions ==

Follow these steps to update the mailing address in your campaign footer:

# From the [[Campaigns]] Overview page, locate the campaign you wish to update and click '''Continue'''.
# You'll be directed to the Campaign Summary page. Here, find the '''Address''' dropdown menu.
# Click the dropdown to view your mailing addresses. Select the address you want to use.
# If you do not see your preferred mailing address listed, you have the option to click '''Add a new address''' to enter a new mailing address.
# Finally, to save your changes, click either '''Save and Exit''' or '''Send Now'''.

This straightforward process allows you to easily manage the mailing address displayed on your email campaigns.

== Configuration options and settings ==

While updating the mailing address in your campaign's footer, you will work primarily with the following configuration options and elements:

* '''Address''' dropdown: Allows you to choose from your saved mailing addresses.
* '''Add a new address''': Option to input a new mailing address if the desired one is not already saved.

Make sure to verify that the address you select complies with legal requirements for your specific location and audience.

== Best practices and tips ==

* Always ensure that the mailing address you are using is current and accurate to maintain compliance with email marketing laws. 
* Regularly review your mailing addresses to avoid using outdated information in your campaigns.
* Consider adding multiple addresses if you operate in different regions or if your business has separate mailing locations. This can help better inform your audience of where your business is based.

== Common use cases with examples ==

* **Business branding**: A campaign created for a product launch may include a different mailing address if the marketing is being run from a temporary location, such as a trade show.
* **Operational changes**: If your organization relocates, updating the mailing address in your email footers ensures that your audience knows your new contact point.
* **Region-specific campaigns**: If running campaigns targeting specific regions, using local addresses can enhance brand trust and relatability with your audience.

== Troubleshooting section ==

If you encounter difficulties while attempting to change the mailing address in your campaign footer, consider these steps:

* Verify that your campaign is in a '''Draft''' or '''Scheduled''' status. Changes cannot be made to campaigns that are '''Sent'''.
* Ensure that you have permissions to make changes within your account settings. Check if your role allows for editing campaign settings.
* If the mailing address does not appear in the dropdown, double-check that it has been successfully saved in your account. Utilize the '''Add a new address''' option if needed.
