Managing Your Channel Settings
Edit in CMSTo view or update your channel’s settings, click Settings in the left-hand navigation. General, Sending emails, and Pages always appear; Integrations appears only for channels sending through Letterhead’s own email connection, and Forms appears only for accounts with the signup-form builder enabled (see each section below).
General
Section titled “General”Manage your channel’s branding, contact details, and social profiles.
- Description — a short summary of your channel’s purpose, shown on your newsletter archive page.
- Logo — upload a square image, with an Alt text field for accessibility.
- Timezone — controls when your newsletters send. Double-check it matches your audience’s local time; Eastern Time is the default.
- Link to Website and Link to Newsletter — both optional, and each must be a secure (HTTPS) URL. Link to Website is the link behind your logo and channel name at the top of your public archive page, and it’s also the default link on your logo when it appears inside a newsletter you send — unless you’ve set a different link on that logo block yourself. Link to Newsletter isn’t shown anywhere in your archive or your sent newsletters today, so it’s for your own reference rather than a working link on any page — leave it blank if you don’t have a separate use for it.
- Personal Information — Contact Name, Contact Email, and a mailing address (Street Address, City, State, and Postal Code — there’s no country field) are required to save; Contact Phone is optional. Of these, only the mailing address is shown anywhere: the street, city, state, and postal code appear together in your newsletter footer, as required by CAN-SPAM law. Contact Name, Contact Email, and Contact Phone aren’t shown to your readers, and nothing in your sent newsletters or public pages uses them — they’re for your own records. If you don’t want to share your home address, a P.O. Box or commercial mail-receiving service works.
- Social Media — set profile links for Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, X (Twitter), Threads, and Bluesky. These feed the Social Profile block in newsletter templates when Use Channel Social Links is enabled.
Click Save to apply changes. If Save is greyed out, a required field is missing or invalid.
Sending emails
Section titled “Sending emails”- Sending Domain — appears here only if this channel still sends through Letterhead’s legacy per-channel connection; set up and verify a custom domain here to protect deliverability (see custom sending domain setup). If your company instead uses Letterhead’s email delivery as a company-level sending connection, sending domains are managed there instead — see Manage sending domains for your company email connection.
- Sender Name, Sender Email, Reply Email — appear only for channels sending through Letterhead’s own email connection. Sender Name is the display name on the From line, and Sender Email is the From address itself. Reply Email is where manual replies (including out-of-office messages) go; some server-triggered auto-replies may go to the sender email instead.
- Audience Policies — set per channel, with no organization-wide default. Double Opt-in protects your sending reputation and prevents spam complaints. See also How do you opt-out of double opt-ins?, List Optimization, and Recipient Validation.
- Look and feel — default Body and Paragraph Font, Heading Font, and Font / Background / Accent colors for your newsletters. Not all email clients support custom fonts, so they may not render for every subscriber.
- Advanced (Early Access) — set fallback fonts for body and headings.
- Archive Visibility — toggle Newsletter Visibility to activate your public archive page, and upload an Archive Banner. Your archive must be on for subscribers to get proper confirmation messages when signing up, whether you use Letterhead’s forms, the API, or Zapier. This section appears only for channels sending through Letterhead’s own email connection.
Integrations
Section titled “Integrations”This section appears only for channels sending through Letterhead’s own email connection — it isn’t shown for channels on a third-party ESP.
- Embed Subscription Form — copy a snippet to embed a signup form on your website. New signups go through email verification, then receive your welcome letter.
More integrations (ESPs, Stripe, Zapier) are managed at the company level — see Working in Integrations.
Manage this newsletter’s signup page and embedded form from one place, with previews. See Manage all your signup pages and subscribe forms.
Some accounts have a separate, dedicated signup-form builder alongside Pages. Where it’s available, you’ll see a Forms section here for building and managing those forms independently.
