# Custom email domain

> Send customer email notifications from your own domain

By default, all customer email notifications are sent from `noreply@salesbricks.com`. However, you can easily enhance your brand's credibility and trust by sending emails from your own custom domain.

If your custom domain is still being set up, or if there are any DNS issues, your customer-facing emails will still be sent reliably from the default Salesbricks email address.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through setting up your custom domain to ensure your brand stands out in all customer communications. This simple step can improve email delivery rates and strengthen your brand’s trustworthiness.

While Salesbricks’ default email is highly reputable, using your own domain reduces the chances of your emails ending up in spam folders, making sure your customers never miss important alerts and notifications.

<Info>
  <p>Salesbricks uses Entri to make connecting your domain quick and easy. All you need is your DNS provider login information, and you can complete the setup without leaving the Salesbricks dashboard.</p>
  <p>Entri supports most common DNS providers, so it's very likely your provider is compatible. However, if your provider isn’t detected, feel free to contact Salesbricks support for manual setup assistance.</p>
  <p>See the full list of <a href="https://developers.entri.com/provider-list">DNS providers</a> that Entri supports.</p>

### DNS setup verification

To allow Salesbricks to send emails on your behalf, the following sample CNAME entries will be automatically added to your DNS records:

| Type  | Host                       | Value                                   | TTL |
| ----- | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------- | --- |
| CNAME | em1234.example.com         | u123456.wl123.sendgrid.net              | 300 |
| CNAME | s1.\_domainkey.example.com | s1.domainkey.u123456.wl123.sendgrid.net | 300 |
| CNAME | s2.\_domainkey.example.com | s2.domainkey.u123456.wl123.sendgrid.net | 300 |

If the verification is not successful and your domain status is still not **Active**, try clicking the **Check Connection** button again.

## Customer emails

Now that you've set up both your domain and, optionally, the email sender address you want to use, everything should be seamless.

If Salesbricks detects an issue with your domain, you will see a banner notification when you log in to your dashboard. All customer emails will fallback to `noreply@salesbricks.com` until the issue is resolved, ensuring no notifications are missed.

In the [next section](/documentation/customer-email-notifications), you will find a comprehensive list of customer emails that Salesbricks sends on your behalf.

All emails under the Payment and Invoicing category will use the billing sender, while all emails under the Subscription Lifecycle will use the sales sender.

Emails sent to you and your team will continue to come from `noreply@salesbricks.com`.

| Email Sender | Email Category                                                                               |
