      Who is the article for?

      This article is part of a series for creating your Coviu Enterprise Platform.

      This article is aimed at your email system administrator. Please share this with them as part of the Coviu platform implementation so they know what is expected of them.

      What does this service do for me?

      Using your email domain and address is a great way to customise your Coviu platform to include your company name and branding.

      It means your client or patient will receive their telehealth consultation email from your domain, and not from our default address of invitations@coviu.com.

      Choosing Your Email Address

      You can choose an address such as donotreply@companyname.com if you do not wish to set up a mailbox and respond to any replies.

      Alternatively, it could be something like invitations@companyname.com and you may choose to have a staff member monitor the inbox for replies.

      What do you need from me to set this up?

      Initially, we just need the email address you want to send from. This should have been decided as part of your internal project team activities who are implementing the platform. So all we need is:

      • The chosen email address.
      • To be connected via email with your email systems administrator.

      What is the process for setting this up?

      Our process at a high level:

      1. The project implementation team decides on the email address to be used. It does not need to be created at this stage, but must be committed to.
      2. Pass the email address and the contact details of your email system administrator on to Coviu to commence configuration (ensure your administrator is aware of this help article and this activity.)
      3. Our engineers commence configuration from our end and engage your system administrator. Coviu will provide them with:
        1. a DNS TXT record for DKIM. This is required in order to authorise us to send emails on your behalf.
        2. You may need to update your SPF record. We'll provide the details, just let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
      4. The email address is put into production.
