In this guide, we will walk you through the process, from adding the domain to activating Gmail and setting up a catch-all email. By following these steps, you’ll be able to configure your email domain effectively and ensure smooth communication within your organization. Let’s get started!</p>  <ul><li><a href="#add-the-domain">Add the domain</a></li> <li><a href="#domain-verification">Domain Verification</a></li> <li><a href="#activating-gmail">Activating Gmail</a></li> <li><a href="#adding-a-catch-all-email">Adding a Catch-All Email</a></li> <li><a href="#test-your-email-setup">Test Your Email Setup</a></li> <li><a href="#add-a-sender-account-to-gmail">Add a Sender Account to Gmail</a></li></ul> <h2>Add the domain</h2> <p>Go to the <a href="https://admin.google.com/ac/domains/manage" rel="nofollow">domains admin</a> and add a new domain.</p> <p><img src="/generated/docs/gs-gmail/2024-09-08-19-12-14.png"/></p> <p>Set up an “alias domain,” which involves a verification step where you need to update your DNS records. Otherwise, you may have to do the following steps manually.</p> <p><img src="/generated/docs/gs-gmail/2024-09-08-19-04-47.png"/></p> <h2>Domain Verification</h2> <p>If you’re using Cloudflare as your DNS manager, Google will automatically recognize it and add the necessary DNS records.</p> <p><img src="/generated/docs/gs-gmail/2024-09-08-19-06-15.png"/></p> <p><img src="/generated/docs/gs-gmail/2024-09-08-19-07-10.png"/></p> <p>Then, wait for domain verification to complete. It should be fast.</p> <p><img src="/generated/docs/gs-gmail/2024-09-08-19-07-35.png"/></p> <h2>Activating Gmail</h2> <p><img src="/generated/docs/gs-gmail/2024-09-08-19-11-38.png"/></p> <p><img src="/generated/docs/gs-gmail/2024-09-08-19-12-59.png"/></p> <p>Once again, Cloudflare makes it easy and automatic. Otherwise, this may involve manual steps if Google is not integrated with your DNS provider.</p> <p><img src="/generated/docs/gs-gmail/2024-09-08-19-14-04.png"/></p> <p><img src="/generated/docs/gs-gmail/2024-09-08-19-15-06.png"/></p> <h2>Adding a Catch-All Email</h2> <p>I set up a catch-all email so that any email sent to <code>&lt;anything&gt;@yourdomain.com</code> is routed to <code>[email protected]</code> if the specific email address doesn’t exist. This is optional, but you might want to consider what happens to unrecognized email addresses in your setup.</p> <p><a href="https://apps.google.com/supportwidget/articlehome" rel="nofollow">This Google help article</a> covers it, but here it is below too:</p> <p>I like to go to <a href="https://admin.google.com/ac/apps/gmail/defaultrouting" rel="nofollow">Default Routing</a> and add a rule:</p> <p><img src="/generated/docs/gs-gmail/2024-09-08-19-21-45.png"/></p> <p>Use a regex to match the entire domain like <code>@yourdomain\\.com$</code>. I also like to prepend <code>[CATCHALL] -</code> to the subject so I know that it wasn’t sent to my “real” address.</p> <p><img src="/generated/docs/gs-gmail/2024-09-08-19-25-59.png"/></p> <p>Redirect the emails to your “real” email address:</p> <p><img src="/generated/docs/gs-gmail/2024-09-08-19-25-14.png"/></p> <p>Finally, make sure you only perform this on unrecognized email addresses.</p> <p><img src="/generated/docs/gs-gmail/2024-09-08-19-24-55.png"/></p> <p><img src="/generated/docs/gs-gmail/2024-09-08-19-51-48.png"/></p> <h2>Test Your Email Setup</h2> <p>Send an email to yourself using the new domain to ensure that everything is working correctly.</p> <p>You may need to wait a bit for the MX records to propagate. Just because Google says everything is verified doesn’t mean the Internet at large has received the memo.</p> <p><img src="/generated/docs/gs-gmail/2024-09-08-19-39-27.png"/></p> <p>If you want to be extra sure, try sending from a completely different email provider like Proton or AOL.</p> <p>Once you receive messages, you’re all set!</p> <h2>Add a Sender Account to Gmail</h2> <p>Sometimes you might want to send email FROM your domain, such as replies or customer messages. To do that, go to your user settings in Gmail and add an account:</p> <p><img src="/generated/docs/gs-gmail/2024-09-08-19-56-56.png"/></p> <p><img src="/generated/docs/gs-gmail/2024-09-08-19-57-35.png"/></p>`,1);function l(e){var r=c();n(82),t(e,r)}export{l as n,i as t};
