StreamSend Deployment Checklists

• Required Information
  • Customer Name
  • Expected number of E-Mail messages that will be sent per month for this account. (this will probably affect the cost to our customer for their service)
  • E-Mail address that will be associated with management of the customer's StreamSend access. This can be an existing customer E-Mail address but it cannot be an address that's used to manage any other StreamSend account.
  • Will customer have access to the StreamSend interface or will GLM be managing all newsletters for the customer?
• Tasks
  • Create E-Mail account that will be associated with the Customer Account (if necessary) and any desired "Reply-to:" addresses that might be used in E-Mails from the StreamSend system to recipients.
  • Create new StreamSend Customer Account using the StreamSend Private Label Manager.

    • Note the number of E-Mails (per month) showing as available under the "Quota:" input box.
