Setting up custom email address

Setting up custom email address

Overview

Configure a custom email address that can be used as the 'From  address' of emails sent from your Zoho Connect network. Once you set up a custom email address, all emails from your network will be sent from the specified address replacing the default address, notify@zohoconnect.com.

Who can set up a custom email?

Only the network admins can set up a custom email.

  2. Click Save.


Step 2: Verifying the domain of the email address.

  3. Scroll to the CNAME records section. 
  4. Copy the values from the table displayed on the screen in Connect and add them under the respective fields in CNAME records.

  2. Once saved, switch back to Connect and click Submit & Verify
Step 3: Verify DKIM by adding TXT record in your DNS configuration.
