Getting started with Mailee

Welcome to Mailee. This guide takes you from a brand-new account to your first sent campaign in about fifteen minutes.

1. Create your workspace

When you sign up, Mailee creates a workspace — the home for your contacts, campaigns, and settings. You can run more than one workspace (for example, one for marketing and one for hosted business email) and switch between them from the sidebar.

2. Connect a sending domain

Email you send needs to come from a domain you control, authenticated so inboxes trust it. Head to Settings → Sending and follow Connect and authenticate your sending domain. This is the single most important step for landing in the inbox — don't skip it.

3. Import your contacts

Bring your audience in under Contacts → Import. Upload a CSV, map the columns to fields, and Mailee de-duplicates by email address as it goes. See Contacts, lists, and tags for how to organise them.

4. Build and send

Create a campaign under Campaigns → New. Write your subject line, design the email, choose a list, and send — or let Mailee's AI draft a first version in your brand voice. Full walkthrough: Build and send your first campaign.

5. Watch your reports

After you send, Reports shows opens, clicks, bounces, and unsubscribes in real time. Use them to refine your next send.

Tip: Start small. Send to your most engaged contacts first — strong early engagement builds your sender reputation and helps every future email reach the inbox.
