Sending email from your own custom domain

Sending from your own domain (e.g. [email protected]) is coming soon. Use a Resend, SendGrid, or Postmark integration for that today.

Every OverSkill app can already send transactional email out of the box — no setup required. But if you want that email to come from your own domain (like [email protected] instead of the shared OverSkill sender), that specific capability isn't available yet. Here's what's going on and what to use instead.

What works today

Every app sends transactional email — signup confirmations, order receipts, notifications, weekly summaries — from a shared OverSkill sender address right out of the box. No account to create, no setup. See Sending emails from your app for how to set that up in chat.

What's not available yet: sending from your own domain

Sending from a domain you own (e.g. [email protected]) is in active development — it's not a bug, and there's nothing wrong with your DNS setup. We're building this properly so it works reliably, and we'll let you know the moment it ships.

If you've already connected a custom domain to your app, you'll see this called out directly in the editor's Email tab.

What to do in the meantime

If you need email sent from your own domain today, connect an email-sending integration instead — for example Resend, SendGrid, Postmark, MailerSend, or SMTP2Go. In chat, just ask:

Connect Resend and send order confirmations from [email protected].

The AI walks you through connecting the integration and wires up the sending logic. Once connected, you have full control over the from-address using your own domain, subject to that provider's own domain-verification steps (usually a few DNS records at your registrar).

This is also the right path if you need marketing or bulk email — the shared OverSkill sender is for transactional email only (see the limits here).

Which one should I use?

  • Just need transactional email fast, don't care about the sending domain? Use the built-in shared sender — nothing to connect.
  • Need it to come from your own domain right now? Connect Resend, SendGrid, Postmark, MailerSend, or SMTP2Go.
  • Sending marketing/bulk email? Same — use one of those integrations, not the built-in sender.
