How do I set up a "throwaway" e-mail address?
Updated over a month ago

When you need to process donations for a donor who does not have an e-mail address, you can set up a "throwaway" e-mail.

Setting up your "throwaway" e-mail

We highly recommend setting this account up through Gmail - you can set up a generic account for your organization's use and then create individual "sub-emails" for each case you need to use one.

This allows for all of these types of e-mails to be sent to that one generic account - but, you will be able to specify which receipts belong to which recurring donors and send them out accordingly.

When setting up a generic e-mail for your organization, you can create one using your organization's name

Once this is all set, you can add '+XXXX' to that existing e-mail address.

Examples:

Any message sent to those e-mails will be routed to the inbox for the "throwaway" account you created - but, you will be able to differentiate which specific email address it was sent to using the information included after the '+'.
