Here is how unauthenticated email addresses are transformed to be authenticated:
👉 Example of an unauthenticated sender's address: client@gmail.com
👉 Transformed and authenticated address: client+gmail.com@[authenticated_domain.com]
The domain cmtd1.com will be used to transform sender addresses to ensure authentication and email deliverability.
If the sender address belongs to a client account under a reseller domain that is already authenticated, the emails will be sent with this authenticated domain.

- You can now update your recipients’ custom attribute data in Automation based on how they interact with a campaign, such as clicking on a link. Your subscribers can then be segmented using this action.

- opened or didn't open
- clicked or didn't click
- sent or wasn't sent
For example, you can now specify what content to send to a contact who has previously clicked on a link in an email versus someone who hasn’t clicked on this link – or who clicked on a different link. By sending contacts different content based on their actions, you can automatically make all of your communications more relevant to your users.
Private DKIM domain authentication
You can now define and use your private DKIM domain authentication (non-shared) to maximize your reputation and increase deliverability. Your reputation will be protected to the greatest extent possible. This feature is also available through the Cakemail API.
Cakemail en español - Cakemail is now available in Spanish!
Si el español es más útil para algunos o todos los miembros de su equipo… If some or all of your team members prefer Spanish, you now have access to a fully translated application en español.

You can also receive an update on each new subscriber directly in your Slack account or boost abandoned carts in Shopify by sending them an email.

With Next-gen, we’re rebuilding Cakemail from the ground up to make it easier for organizations to nurture relationships. Although this initial release does not yet contain all the features available in Cakemail Classic, it does bring significant improvements to the user experience.
This release is available under the Cakemail brand only. Reseller support and white-label functionality will be added in a subsequent release.
Next-gen App is built on Next-gen API, available to developers and partners.
