Define email sender configuration

Overview

The next step after provisioning the customer's environments is the email configuration. Bizagi is capable of sending emails from any configured process. To do so, it is necessary to give permissions to Bizagi to send emails on behalf of a specific domain. This article explains what the customer has to do to complete the email configuration.

 

Email configuration

The following image shows the general process that must be completed for email configuration:

1.You can use your own domain to perform this configuration (e.g.@agilitycorp.com). However, you may prefer to use a subdomain instead (e.g.@bizagi-agilitycorp.com, @external-agilitycorp.com). Bear in mind that the domain that you select for this configuration must be owned by your company.

You may not choose to use bizagi.com as a domain.

As a best practice, sender email addresses for test and production environments should be different (e.g. noreply_test@agilitycorp.com and noreply@agilitycorp.com).

 

2.After the domain has been defined, Bizagi configures the domain through which the emails are going to be sent.

3.After Bizagi has configured the domain, it is mandatory that you configure in your DNS the permissions associated to Bizagi for sending emails with your domain.

4.Once you have finished the DNS configuration, Bizagi can complete the configuration process by verifying the DNS entries.
