Forwarding your incoming emails to Bigin

Forwarding your incoming emails to Bigin

With the help of Email-in topping, you can convert your sales, support emails etc as a new record in Bigin's pipeline. All email aliases created via Email-in will contain the domain bigin.com. (Example: sales@zylker.bigin.com) However, if you already own an email alias for your business domain (Example: sales@zylker.com) then you can
configure a forwarding rule (in your email client) to route the incoming emails to Bigin's email alias.
 
For example if your customers send an email to sales@zylker.com, it must be configured to forward all your incoming emails to your Bigin alias i.e sales@zylker.bigin.com

Configuring a Forwarding Rule

The steps to configure a forwarding rule will vary from one email client to another. Let us look at the steps involved for a few email providers below:

Zoho Mail

You can configure Zoho Mail to forward emails to your Bigin account automatically. While doing so, you can choose to retain a copy of the emails in your Zoho Mail mailbox.
 
To forward emails from Zoho Mail
  1. Log in to Zoho Mail account with administrator credentials.
  2. Click the Settings icon ( ) in the upper right area.
  3. Click Email Forwarding under Mail Accounts on the Settings page.
  4. Enter your Bigin email alias and hit Enter.( Example: sales@zylker.bigin.com)
    Zoho Mail will send a verification email to your Bigin email alias.
 The emails sent to sales@zylker.com will now be sent to your Bigin account. Learn more about forwarding emails from Zoho mail here.

Microsoft 365

You can forward emails to your Bigin account from your Microsoft 365 hosted exchange by following these steps,
You must be an Exchange administrator or Global administrator in Microsoft 365 to do these steps.
