Enter the domain name you would like to send from. You must have access to this domain's DNS records in order to verify ownership.
You will not be able to send from an unverified domain name.
You will be able to send from any email address at this domain. For example, if you add the domain "my.widgets.com", you will be able to send from user1@my.widgets.com.
For marketing purposes, it is recommended to use a subdomain. For example, if your domain were "widgets.com" and your email address was "user@widgets.com" then it would be recommended to use a subdomain such as "send.widgets.com" for marketing and automations.
