To start configure your Email service, you need to make sure you have access to the DNS management of the domain which you wish to set as the sender address for your emails. In order validate this domain we will require you to add some DNS entries for your domain, without this set we will not be able to send emails on your behalf.
Soon you're ready to proceed, go ahead and start by adding the domain which you are going to use:
Then add the default sender name, this value will appear in all the emails you send in the as the FROM value (you can later provide a different one when sending messages):

At this point your service should be active and you should be able to send email messages. Additionally, in order for all features to be fully functional, you should continue to set up all the options below this point. You can start configuring how your new subscription's validation emails will look like. The minimal setup will require you to provide this data in at least one language but you are also able to provide this data in any other languages you want. For that simply toggle the options below:
Then provide a subject for the new subscription email, this will be the subject of the email message sent to your users whenever they subscribe in your apps:
Then provide a body for the new subscription email, this will be the body of the email message sent to your users whenever they subscribe in your apps:
Please note the placeholder used in the body, you should include {{validateLink}} as the href value or a link in your body. We will automatically replace this placeholder with a fully functional link that will take care of the users validation. Only after users successful validate their email, we will consider your subscribers valid and available for email messages.
Then make sure you also provide the success landing page URL for a new subscription. This will be the URL we will redirect subscribers after they are successfully validate their email address:
You should also provide the error landing page URL for a new subscription. This will be the URL we will redirect subscribers if an error occurs while they validate their email address:
