Sending emails through MY email instead of Gmail / Outlook

I’m looking at the option to send an email to a lead through the dashboard. It’s pretty common that we’ll talk to someone and they ask us to email more information, so there’s value in building a template to send and then keep track of any replies.

But is there a way to send the email through my server, instead of Gmail or Outlook? I paid a lot of money for a 4-letter .COM, and even more on marketing it! LOL It’s going to look super unprofessional for my staff to email out from Gmail instead of the one we’re known for.

why aren’t you using google or microsoft to host your email for your custom domain already? I’m surprised you’re not using Microsoft Office Online for your business already.

Outlook and gmail are the integration names for the microsoft and google platforms, which you can use with your custom domain based accounts on those platforms.

Technically I do use Google to host my email. I have a Google One account, so on the server I have emails sent to me@mysite.com delivered to me@gmail.com.

Then in Gmail, I changed “Send mail as” to me@mysite.com, and it’s sent through mail.mysite.com. This way, recipients see that the email came from me, not Gmail. I can also track the sent emails from all employees in WHM, which is very helpful when emails aren’t being delivered!

The Monday dashboard let me connect to my Gmail, but the outgoing is me@gmail.com; not me@mysite.com.

Ah, Google Workspace is what you need, in that situation your custom domain becomes the actual domain of the google worksprace. Its not just mail.mysite.com forwarding to gmail. Your mail.mysite.com goes away entirely, with Google Workspace taking on that role. In that circumstance you’d be able to login to the gmail integration using your email@mysite.com address, and it would send and receive through it directly.

With EasyMails, you have the flexibility to use your own SMTP configuration to send emails.

Have you tried SMTP service provider like iDealSMTP, Mailgun, and SMTPget with your email provider directly in Monday.com? That way, you can send emails through your own email server instead of relying on Gmail or Outlook.
