* '''Reply-To Email''': The email address where replies will be sent if your contacts respond.
* '''Address''': The physical address that may be required by email regulations for compliance.

== Best Practices and Tips ==

1. **Maintain Consistency**: Use the same '''From Name''' and '''From Email''' across campaigns to build recognition and trust with your audience.
2. **Use a Recognizable Email Address**: Choose an email address that is easily identifiable by your recipients to reduce the chance of your emails being marked as spam.
3. **Stay Compliant**: Ensure your physical address is updated to comply with email marketing laws, which often require this information to be included in commercial emails.
4. **Test Before Sending**: Always send a test email to ensure that sender details are correctly displayed.

== Common Use Cases with Examples ==

- **Brand Awareness Campaigns**: If you are launching a new product, ensure the '''From Name''' reflects your company or brand to enhance recognition.
- **Customer Engagement Emails**: Use personalized '''From Names''' for specific campaigns targeting certain demographics to create a more engaging experience.
- **Newsletters**: Always include a valid '''From Email''' that your audience can easily recognize, such as info@yourcompany.com, ensuring better open rates.

== Troubleshooting ==

- If your emails aren't appearing to have the correct sender details, make sure that the automation is set to '''Inactive''' while you are editing. Don't forget to reset it to '''Active''' after adjustments are done.
- Check for typos in both the '''From Email''' and '''From Name''' as these small errors can prevent email delivery.
- Ensure that the sender details are updated in all relevant sections of the automation if using multiple methods.
