This guide walks you through setting up your account and creating your first email alias.

1. Create Your Account

1. Go to cloakmetric.com/create-account.
2. Enter your name, email address, and password (minimum 8 characters).
3. Click Create Account.
4. Check your inbox for a verification email and click the confirmation link.

2. Set Up Your Workspace

After verifying your email and logging in, you’ll land on your default workspace. This is where all your aliases, campaigns, and settings live.

3. Configure Your Forwarding Inbox

Before you can receive emails, tell CloakMetric where to forward them:

1. Go to Settings > Inbox.
2. Enter your primary email address (the one you want to receive forwarded emails at).
3. Click Verify and confirm via the verification email.
4. Once verified, forwarding is active.

4. Create a Campaign

Campaigns help you organize aliases by purpose:

1. Go to Campaigns in the sidebar.
2. Click Create Campaign.
3. Enter a name (e.g., “Shopping”, “Newsletters”, “Work”).
4. Click Create.

5. Create Your First Alias

1. Go to Aliases in the sidebar.
2. Click Create Alias.
3. Enter a local part (e.g., shopping-amazon) — the full alias will be shopping-amazon@cloakmetric.com.
4. Select the campaign you just created.
5. Click Create.

Your alias is now live.

6. Use Your Alias

• Sign up for a service using your new alias email.
