Choose or change your public handle
Your handle names your public pages and your default sending address. Here's how to set it, and what changing it does.
Your handle is the short name in all of your public addresses. Your first email needs one, so set it during setup.
| What | Address for the handle `your-name` |
|---|---|
| Landing pages | your-name.ikpages.com/lp/your-page |
| Store | your-name.ikpages.com/store |
| Unsubscribe page | your-name.ikpages.com/u/unsubscribe |
| Preferences page | your-name.ikpages.com/u/preferences |
| Default sending domain | your-name.ikpages.com |
Set your handle
Before you start: choose the name your readers know. It should be 3 to 40 characters, using lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens, and it can't start with a hyphen.
- 1Open Settings. You land on the General tab.
- 2Under Public landing page URL, type your handle.
- 3Wait for the green check. If the handle is taken, you'll see suggestions under Try:.
- 4Click Save handle. You'll see Saved.
What happens next
- Your sending domain is set up for you, with no DNS records to add.
- If you change your handle later, the old one stays reserved for your account, so nobody else can take it and old links still find your account.
- New sends use your new handle's domain as the default. Check the sending domain on any broadcast or sequence you've already set up.
What can go wrong
- This handle is already taken. Choose another, or click a suggestion.
- This handle is reserved. Words such as
admin,helpandsupportcan't be used. - Handle must be 3–40 characters: lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only. Check the length, and that the handle starts with a letter or number.
- Set your public handle in Settings before sending email. A send was stopped because you don't have a handle yet.
