Sending emails from a custom domain

Last Update: February 20, 2025

With Send’s Custom Domain, you can send emails from your own domain (e.g., @yourbrand.com) instead of Send’s default domain. 

Why send from a custom domain?

  • Increase open rate: More people will recognize your emails and open them.
  • Elevate your Brand: Your brand stays front and center, without “via Send” labels.
  • Avoid spam: Your emails are more likely to land in inboxes instead of spam.
  • Maximize Brand’s Equity: Build long-term credibility for future campaigns.

Before you begin: Make sure you have your username and password for your domain provider ready.

Note: 

  • The status will show as pending until your hosting provider verifies the domain. That process can take several hours. If your domain isn’t verified after 24 hours, double-check that the six values were added correctly.
  • We’ll notify you via email and in the platform once verification is complete. After that, all future emails will automatically use your domain – no extra setup required.
  • In case the process fails, reach out to [email protected] 

Edit or delete your domain

Note: You can only Edit your domain if verification fails. If you delete your domain, emails will be sent from a Send domain by default until you add a new one. 

  1. Go to SettingsEmail & SMS Setup
  2. Under Branded email setup, click the 3 dot icon.
  3. Choose to Edit or Delete your domain.

If you choose Delete, a window will appear. Confirm that you want to delete the domain by clicking Delete.
