###### Name

You can insert the name from which you want the emails to be sent. If left empty, the default sender name will be the name of your job board.

# Step 2: Verify your email address 

After clicking `Update`, a pop-up will display all the DNS records you need to add to the domain's DNS zone.

In a new tab, login to the website from which you have purchased the domain associated with the email, and navigate to the DNS management zone. 

In our example, we will use Godaddy to demonstrate the steps. 

Now, we need to copy each of the records from the pop-up and add them to the domain’s DNS records

After adding the records, click `Verify`. The system will cross-check the records, and if they have been added correctly, you will see a green 'Verified' badge, which means that your domain email has been connected successfully.

||| Important note: It can take up to 72 hours for the DNS changes to propagate 

# Step 3: Check the results

To test the email connection, navigate to the **Email Templates** section in your **Job Board Settings** and send a test email using any of the available templates.

As you can see, the email is now sent with the custom domain email you connected to, and the sender name is the same as the one you added.
