# How to Customize Your Sending Domain in WP Umbrella

Learn how to personalize the sending domain of your maintenance reports in WP Umbrella by replacing the default email with your own domain.

## Overview

Did you know you can send WP Umbrella maintenance reports from your own domain instead of [noreply@wp-umbrella.com](mailto:noreply@wp-umbrella.com)? This customization enhances your brand’s credibility and ensures a seamless communication experience with your clients.

This guide will walk you through setting up your custom sending domain and configuring the necessary DNS records.

**Estimated Time to Complete:** 10 minutes (excluding DNS propagation time)

**Prerequisites:** WP Umbrella installed on your WordPress site & access to your DNS provider settings.

## Steps to Follow

### Step 1: Navigate to Custom Sending Domain

1.  Log in to your **WP Umbrella dashboard**
    
2.  Go to **Account Settings > Custom Sending Domain.**

To allow WP Umbrella to send emails on behalf of your domain, you need to add the following DNS records at your DNS provider:

✅ **MX Records** – Required for email delivery. These define which mail servers can accept incoming emails for your domain.

✅ **SPF Record** – A TXT record that authorizes WP Umbrella to send emails from your domain.

✅ **DKIM Record** – A TXT record that ensures the integrity and authenticity of emails sent from your domain.

### Step 3: Verify Your Domain

Once you've added the required DNS records, return to the **Custom Sending Domain** page and click **Verify Domain.**

⚠ Important: DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate, so you might not be able to verify immediately.

### Step 4: Replace [noreply@wp-umbrella.com](mailto:noreply@wp-umbrella.com) with Your Own Domain

1.  After verification, navigate to **Reports** > **Email** > **Email From**.
    
2.  Select your custom sending domain. 🎉

## Using Multiple Domains

Since **May 2024**, WP Umbrella now allows you to add multiple domains! This means you can use different email addresses and domains for sending reports.

**How to Add an Additional Domain?**

1.  Go to **Custom Sending Domains**.
    
2.  Click **Add Domain** in the top-right corner.
    
3.  Follow the same DNS authentication process for each new domain.
    

📌 Note: You must complete the DNS verification for each new domain before using it.

-   Clear your DNS cache or try checking from a different network.
    

❓ **Can I remove a sending domain later?**
