Set Up Marketing in Starter and Pro Suite
Before users can start working with campaigns and send emails in Starter and Pro Suite, you must enable Marketing and complete additional setup tasks required to meet email privacy regulations and give users access to the Marketing app.
Required Editions
| Available in: Lightning Experience |
| Available in: Starter and Pro Suite Editions. |
| User Permissions Needed | |

Note When you add an org-wide email address in Advanced Setup,
the email address is reformatted with a Salesforce domain before it’s used in the From field
in email campaigns. For example, an org-wide email address name@example.com can appear as
name_at_example.com@400.mx.salesforce.com in the From field of campaigns. The Salesforce
domain can vary, and reformatting helps improve email deliverability.
