## **Email Branding**

Send emails using your business name and domain to maintain a professional brand identity.

Set a custom domain to send branded emails instead of using generic email providers.

> #### **Why Use a Sending Domain?**
>
> A sending domain improves deliverability, builds trust, and reduces the chance of emails being marked as spam.

Enter your domain in **Settings → Email**, submit it, and generate DNS records for verification.

### **Add DNS Records**

Add the generated TXT DNS record to your domain provider to verify domain ownership (GoDaddy, Hostinger, Cloudflare, etc).

### **Verify Sending Domain**

Confirm the DNS setup in Afflr, complete verification, and add the from and reply to email addresses to start sending emails from your custom domain.
