How to send emails from your domain
Getsitecontrol allows you to create emails and send them to your contacts as a part of automated workflows or broadcasts.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to change the sender domain of your emails to your domain.
By default, all emails are sent from Getsitecontrol’s shared domain, noreply@postie.getsitecontrol.com. If you want to send emails to your subscribers from your domain, you need to set up a custom domain.
Create a custom domain
Open one of the emails you have created for an automation or broadcast. From the email editor, click on the Edit button next to the sender:
Proceed to Manage domains to create a new domain.
Click the +Add domain button to add a new domain to your account, and enter your domain name:
❗ Please note that you can only use one domain name per Getsitecontrol account. In other words, if you have multiple Getsitecontrol accounts, you’ll need to use different domains for each.
Verify your domain
In the next screen, you’ll find the data you need to create new DNS records. Perform the following steps:
- Copy the data provided by Getsitecontrol
- Open your domain's DNS settings
- Create new DNS records and enter the data
- Go back to the Getsitecontrol dashboard and click
Verify records.
❗ The verification process usually takes a few minutes, but sometimes it might take up to 48 hours.
Once your DNS records have been verified, click Done.
Enter custom domain details
Next, go back to the email editor and select your newly added domain from the dropdown list:
Enter your name, email address, and reply-to address in the corresponding fields:
The Email address is what your subscribers will see as the sender of your emails. The Reply-to address is where you will receive responses from your subscribers.
And that’s it, your setup is complete:
