New Option for Qualtrics Email Distribution to Improve Deliverability and Enable Custom Addresses: @survey.osu.edu

Qualtrics users have a new option to distribute surveys and reminders using a custom OSU email address.  The new domain @survey.osu.edu has enhanced email security set up to make it compatible with sending from Qualtrics.  Users can create their own “From” addresses using @survey.osu.edu in the address, making it easier for recipients to identify that a survey is coming from an Ohio State University sender.  By sending emails through this domain, emails may be less likely to be flagged as spam.  Read Instructions for Using @survey.osu.edu to Distribute Surveys in Qualtrics for more detailed information.
