How to Configure a Custom Sending Domain
All customers can configure a custom sending domain so their clients receive messages from their own domain, not from Workshop Butler. Depending on the type of your account, you can use your domain to send these messages:
For Certification Bodies:
- Messages about license prolongation
- Welcome email
- Post-event emails (including emails with certificates)
- Follow-up emails
- Event reminder
- Regular message to workshop attendees
Configuration Guide
To configure a custom sending domain, you must have access to your DNS records. This way SparkPost - the service we use to send email messages - can prove that you're the owner of the domain.

Add a custom domain
Go to Account Settings -> Profile and locate the section Custom Domain. Click Activate and add your domain, like example.com.
Update DNS records
Now it's time to go to a DNS panel and add two records:
- TXT record
- CNAME record.
After that, you'll wait for about 10-20 minutes and click Check Verification. This time is usually enough but it could take up to 24 hours for DNS records to update.
Change Company Contact and From address
You may need to update your company contact and From address, if they belong to a different email domain that you added and verified. Workshop Butler lets you know about it.
The moment a verification is over and your company contact and From addresses are correct, Workshop Butler starts using your domain to send messages to your clients!
