Setup a Custom Sender Email Address

This article provides instructions for how to configure your Custom Sender Email Address in the Account Settings or Form Settings.

When emailing your GoCanvas generated PDF you can select a “From” email address from any user email in your account instead of having them come from donotreply@gocanvas.com.


Custom Sender Email Address

This can be done on both the account level so that all emailed submissions across all forms will come from the selected address or on the form level where you can set separate addresses for each form.

Note

Custom sender emails may not guarantee delivery as certain email providers block masked addresses. Visit the Help Center article, "Ensure Delivery of GoCanvas Emails" for our recommendations to overcome this issue.

Account Level

Navigate to the Account Settings page following the instructions based on your Account View.
