### Configuring an Email:

{% hint style="warning" %}
In addition to new contacts that will eventually join the targeted list, all existing contacts on the targeted list will receive this email at the specified time.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="warning" %}
For abandoned checkout sequences, consider waiting at least 1 hour before sending the first email, as customers might need time to finalize their purchase.
{% endhint %}
2. Choose the name of the email sender.
{% hint style="info" %}
By default, the sender's name is your account's first and last name. Edit this configuration by navigating to Settings > Domains and adjusting the Default Sender Name field.
{% endhint %}

*To insert the recipient's first and/or last name into the subject field, use the insert keys:*

To insert the recipient's first and/or last name into the email body, type **{{FirstName}}** for the first name and **{{LastName}}** for the last name or click on **Merge Tags** and select First Name or Last Name.
