My Client is sending to 40 different countries a unique, localized and highly personalized email. They want to have a different sender profile depending on the contact country code, including a different reply email address. Is that possible ? What should be the best way to accomplish this?
If this is not possible, can we use one unique sender profile, and use AMPscript in order to personalize sender name, sender email address, AND reply email address ?
As an alternative to the "personalization" method described above, if you have the business rule "ENHANCED SENDER PROFILE" (you may need to contact support to have this enabled) turned on you can use AMPscript to pull back information from a DE.
e.g. for from name
%%[ VAR @fromName
SET @fromName = Lookup("MySendProfilesDE","FROM_NAME", "SendProfileField", SENDABLE_DE_FIELD_TO_DRIVE_PROFILE)
IF EMPTY (@fromName) THEN
SET @fromName = 'MyDefaultFromName'
ENDIF ]%%
%%=v(@fromName)=%%
Where:
MySendProfileDE is a DE used for the lookup
FROM_NAME is the field in the above DE that you want to be used
SendProfileField is the field in above DE you are matching on
SENDABLE_DE_FIELD_TO_DRIVE_PROFILE is a value from your sendable DE that is used for the lookup. As was mentioned previously I think any field that you use for this will need to appear as a profile attribute (even though a DE is used for sending)
From Email field, then tab out of the input field (= click somewhere else, other than on a link or button), the page will reload to "validate" the email you just inserted, and, if you have it enabled, show you a checkbox and a secondary input field for a fallback email address for you to insert in case the ampscript returns something bad or an email address thats not validated. same info in the docs: help.salesforce.com/…

I have done this very thing. Here is what I did:
I added a Profile Attribute called FromName and FromEmail to the account. You need to do this in order to get the AMPscript to validate, even though you're never going to use them directly (its "hacktastic").
In the sendable DataExtension you're going to use for your send (I'm assuming you're sending to a DE based on the complexity you're describing) ... add 2 nullable columns called FromName and FromEmail.
Create a Sender Profile. In the From Name section put %%FromName%%, in the From Email section put %%FromEmail%%.
Create a User Initiated send to use that profile with your email.
Create a Query activity to do the logic to populate the FromName and FromEmail DE columns at send time.
Create an automation to run the query, then run the UIsend.
This may be overkill for what you are trying to do, but at least, you have an answer that works!
