Authenticate your domain to send emails with Formli

How it works

Emails can be sent from Formli using email actions. To effectively specify the Sender Email, you will need to authenticate your email. This is done by recording Formli provided CNAMEs with your domain host.

This article will walk you through the process of creating and verifying your domain.
