Quick Start
Learn how to set up and start using Leadpush in just a few steps
Welcome to Leadpush
Get your workspace up and running in just a few minutes. This guide will walk you through the essential steps to prepare for your first transactional or marketing sends.
Prerequisites
- Access to your domain's DNS settings.
- Workspace Owner or Admin permissions.
- A verified account email address. If you haven't verified it yet, check your inbox for a message from Leadpush and complete the verification.
If you don't have a domain yet, you can still explore Leadpush in Sandbox mode and return to domain verification later.
Set up your workspace
New workspaces start with message delivery for all channels set to Sandbox. In Sandbox, messages are simulated—they appear as sent in your dashboard but are not delivered to recipients. This is ideal for testing your setup and templates.
Workspaces support the following delivery modes:
- Sandbox. Messages are simulated and not delivered to recipients.
- Normal. Messages are delivered to recipients and counted toward your budget.
- Disabled. Messages are blocked and not sent.
You can't switch your workspace delivery mode to Normal until your account email is verified and at least one sending domain is verified.
Switch from Sandbox to Normal (when ready)
Open Workspace Settings
From the Dashboard, go to Workspace Settings and open the Delivery tab.
Complete required verifications
- Verify your account email address (look for the verification email from Leadpush).
- Verify at least one sending domain and add a sending address. For the full walkthrough, see Add a Sending Domain.
Enable Normal delivery
Change the delivery mode from Sandbox to Normal, then save your changes.
Configure Contact Identity (optional)
Identity fields are used to uniquely identify your contacts. By default, Leadpush uses the email address as the primary identity field.
Identity fields can't be changed after contacts have been created. To change them later, you'll need to remove existing contacts first or contact support for guidance.
Change identity fields
Navigate to Workspace Settings
From the Workspace Settings page, click on the Identity tab.
Select identity fields
Choose the identity fields you want to use. By default, email and phone are available.
Additional identity fields can be added in the Fields tab.
Add your first sending domain
Use the Domains tab in Workspace Settings to create your first sending domain, publish the required DNS records, and add a sending address.
For the complete step-by-step guide, including provider selection, DNS verification, and sending-address verification, read Add a Sending Domain.
Create a test contact
Navigate to Contacts
From the Dashboard, click on the Contacts tab.
Create a contact
Click the + Contact button in the top right corner. Fill out the form with your contact details (we recommend using your own email address for initial tests), then click Create.
Next Steps
You are now ready to continue your setup for live sending. Consider these next steps:
- Invite your team to collaborate.
- Add a sending domain if you still need to finish domain or sending-address verification.
- Create your first campaign and send a test to your test contact.
- Import contacts or connect a CRM/integration if applicable.
- Send a small test campaign while in Sandbox to validate templates and personalization.
- When ready, switch delivery to Normal (see steps above) and monitor performance.
- Review compliance and consent requirements for your region.
