Email setup & lifecycle (Resend, Loops, Mailchimp)

How Ethos sends email and how to make team@yourethos.io the sender.

Ethos uses three email tools, each for a job:

  • Resend — transactional (sent by the app): welcome, password reset, teammate invites, payment-failed, and the weekly Brand Monitor digest. All send from team@yourethos.io by default (override with the EMAIL_FROM env var).
  • Loops — lifecycle / upsell / retention: the app fires events — signup, plan_changed, payment_failed, showroom_published, credits_low (80% of monthly AI credits used) — and your Loops automations turn those into onboarding drips, upgrade nudges, win-backs, and dunning. Contacts sync with plan and status properties for targeting.
  • Mailchimp — newsletters: users sync into your audience with plan and status tags so you can segment broadcasts.

Make team@yourethos.io the verified sender: 1. Resend → Domains → add yourethos.io and add the SPF/DKIM DNS records it shows. Set RESEND_API_KEY (and optionally EMAIL_FROM). 2. Loops → Settings → verify yourethos.io and set the default From to team@yourethos.io. Add LOOPS_API_KEY. 3. Mailchimp → verify the domain and set the audience default From to team@yourethos.io.

Admins can check connection status and run a one-time "Sync all users" from Admin → Settings → Email marketing.
