When you create your Salonized account, your Salonized e-mails are sent to your customers from your default Salonized e-mail address ([your_salon_name]@email.salonized.com).
If you own a custom domain (e.g. yoursalonname.nl), it’s possible to link this with your Salonized account so that your Salonized e-mails send from your custom e-mail (e.g. info@yoursalonname.nl).

What is a custom domain?
A custom domain is one that you own and pay for - it doesn’t include free domains like gmail.com / outlook.com / icloud.com. If you don’t currently own a custom domain, but are interested in buying one, you can check out a provider like squarespace, GoDaddy and IONOS. These are just a few examples of custom domain providers, but please take the time to research alternative providers to make sure that you pick one that’s right for your budget and needs.
To send your Salonized e-mails from your custom domain, you first need to “verify” your custom domain.This is done using something called “Domain Name System” (DNS) records, which allows Salonized to verify that you are the owner of the domain.
⚠️ Please follow the steps below to complete custom domain verification
How to verify your custom domain

Settings>Company>Domain settings
Enter your custom domain (e.g.
info@yoursalonname.nl) in theCONTACT EMAIL ADDRESSfield and pressSubmit
Copy the three CNAME records that are revealed. Note that each CNAME record has two parts (
NAMEandVALUE). You need to add both parts for each CNAME record to your DNS settings in step 4.

[the name of your domain provider] DNS settingsto find the relevant instructions for you. Here are example instructions from some well known domain providers (Squarespace instructions, GoDaddy instructions, IONOS instructions).Add the three CNAME settings (DNS records) and save
And that’s it! If you’ve done everything correctly, you just need to wait for the DNS setting changes to propagate (this can take up to 72 hours).
While you wait, you can go back to the Salonized Domain settings page and click I have completed step 2 or Check verification status.
