GTM Stack

guys! I am running gtm for my startup and was wondering if I could create an email campaign but send it from my CTO's email address. would this require him logging in to launch the campaign?

That's a smart approach! You're absolutely right about protecting your CTO's deliverability. You can connect any email account to Clay through the Sender setup - whether it's from zapmail or other providers. Just use Google OAuth, Microsoft Outlook OAuth, or SMTP credentials to connect the dedicated mailbox. [documentation Once connected, you can enable warmup to build the account's reputation and manage everything from your Clay workspace. [clay.com

i wouldn't use your CTO's email address as it will impact its deliverability for normal use cases- you can purchase some mailboxes from providers like zapmail etc and then import into clay

Yes, your CTO would need to connect their email account to Clay for the campaign to send from their address. [clay.com In the campaign setup, you'll go to "Sender setup" where they'd need to connect their Google Workspace or Microsoft Outlook account via OAuth. [documentation This requires them to authorize Clay to access their email account. Once connected, you can create and manage the campaign from your Clay workspace, but the initial email account connection needs to be done by the account owner (your CTO in this case).
