Benefits of associating a domain with Zoho Directory

1. Unification: Zoho Directory serves as a centralized domain console, from which you can directly manage all your domains created across different products of Zoho and also view any information related to a domain, like its domain info, apps associated with it, email authentication status, mail hosting records' status, and their values. Thus, the tediousness of configuring a domain separately in every app a user uses is eliminated with adding and verifying it once and for all in Zoho Directory.
2. Easy enrollment: Irrespective of where a domain is originally hosted, if you add and verify it in Zoho Directory, you can seamlessly add employees/users to your organization as confirmed users with a domain-based email address and avoid waiting for pending users to accept your invitation.
   
3. Custom sender email address: You can set up a sender email of your own accord in Zoho Directory and utilize it in the associated apps to send marketing and sales emails, promotional emails from your organization. This helps you increase your brand awareness by creating domain-based email addresses. Learn more.
   
4. Data sync: All the data associated with a domain verified in Zoho Directory will be synced across all the services associated with your organization and vice versa. Learn more about certain service-specific cases.
   
5. Password reset: Force a password reset for any user who has their primary email domain verified.
   
6. Mail aliases: Easily reach all members of a group by assigning a domain-based email alias for any users individually or in groups.
   
7. LDAP sync: Automate employee enrollment by syncing users with domain-based email addresses from your LDAP server.
   
8. Mail hosting: Make collaborating with other Zoho apps easier by hosting your organization's mailboxes with Zoho Mail.
