With the Email for Trello Power-Up you can send and receive emails using your own email address, without the SendBoard branding. We call this a custom email address. To set 'From' address to your own domain, you'll need to make some minor Domain Name System (DNS) changes with your domain service provider that authorise SendBoard to send emails on your behalf.

The process for updating your DNS settings will differ depending on who you host your domain with. But the basic steps are very similar. In this article we briefly run through  the steps for some of the most common providers: Google Domains, Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Wix.

For details on how to set your custom email address and where to find the DNS settings for your domain in SendBoard, view our article: Set the ‘from’ address to your own domain
