# Emails

> Verify the addresses and domains your workspace sends email from

Before your workspace can send email, the address it sends from has to be verified. **Settings → Emails** is where you add those addresses, watch their verification status, and set up DKIM signing for your domain.

Each row shows the sender name your recipients will see, the address itself, and its status. The **Default** badge marks the address used when nothing more specific is chosen, and the **DKIM** badge means the address's domain is signed.

## Adding a sender address

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click Add Email">
    Enter the **name** recipients see in their inbox (usually your company or team name) and the **address** you want to send from.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the verification email">
    We send a verification email to that address. Open it and follow the link. The address stays **Pending** until you do.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the status">
    Back in the list, the address flips to **Verified** and is ready to use.
  </Step>
</Steps>

</Frame>

If the email never arrives, open the address and use **Resend Verification**, then **Check Status** once you have clicked the link. Statuses are **Pending**, **Verified**, and **Failed**.

<Tip>
  Use an address you can actually receive mail on. Replies to your broadcasts land there, and so does the verification email.
</Tip>

## Verifying your domain (DKIM)

Verifying the single address is enough to start sending. Verifying its **domain** is what makes those emails land in the inbox instead of the spam folder: it lets us sign every message with DKIM on your behalf, so receiving mail servers can prove the mail really came from your domain.

Open an address and scroll to **Domain Verification**.

</Frame>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Copy the records">
    Three records are listed with their type, name and value. Copy each one with the button next to it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add them at your DNS provider">
    Create the records exactly as shown. If we recognize your DNS provider, a button appears that opens it directly, and for some providers it can add the records for you in one click.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the status">
    Use the refresh action next to each record. DNS changes can take a few minutes to propagate, so check again shortly if they still show **Pending**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Once all records resolve, the section reports that DKIM signing is active and the address shows the **DKIM** badge in the list. Every address on that domain benefits, so you only do this once per domain.

## Per-address settings

Open an address to find its **Configuration** section:

| Setting            | What it does                                                                                                                |
| :----------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Click Tracking** | Rewrites the links in your email body so clicks can be attributed. On by default                                            |
| **Open Tracking**  | Adds a tracking pixel to measure opens. Off by default, because some receiving servers treat the pixel as a negative signal |

The options menu on each row also lets you rename the sender, **set the address as default**, or delete it.

<Warning>
  Deleting an address stops everything that sends from it. Broadcasts, assistants, and workflows configured with that address will fail until you point them at another one.
</Warning>

## Where these addresses are used

* **Broadcasts** sent over the email channel go out from the address configured on the broadcast.
* **Assistants and workflows** that send email use the address chosen in their configuration.
* Anything you do not configure explicitly falls back to your **default** address.
