• Sender Email Preferences

When you use an email address that is from a public domain or an unauthenticated domain to send invoices to your customers, these emails are more likely to land in the recipient's spam folder. With Zoho Books, you can authenticate your sender email addresses, preventing them from being mistaken for spam. For your domain to be considered authentic by Zoho Books, it should have an SPF (Sender Policy Framework) and a DKIM (Domain Keys Identified Mail) record associated with it.

To check whether your email addresses are authenticated: navigate to Settings > Emails > Sender Email Preferences.

Note that if your email addresses are not authenticated, the email address in the From field will be replaced automatically with message-service@sender.zohobooks.com, which is Zoho Books’ own email address.

Learn more about Sender Email Preferences.
