# Set up Sender Email Address

We will be using [Mail](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/mail/introduction/), a *Catalyst Cloud Scale* component, to set up the sender email address. This is the address from which the birthday wishes will be sent to the required people.

To configure the sender’s email address:

1. Navigate to the **Mail** component under the *NOTIFY* section in the *Cloud Scale* console, and click **Add Email**.

2. Provide the required details for your sender email address, and click **Add Email**. You can provide an email address that you use.

This action will have automatically sent a Catalyst-generated confirmation code to the email address you provided.

5. Copy the confirmation code from your email, paste it in the space provided, and click **Confirm**. The email ID will be verified, and the `Verified` status will be indicated under the *Confirmation Status* column.

The sender email address has now been configured.

### Configure the Domain

Next, we need to verify the domain we are using to send emails from the application. This verification will ensure that your emails reach your required inbox securely and not in their spam folder.

> **Note:** This is a mandatory step to ensure that emails sent from your Catalyst applications are done with strict adherence to DKIM protocols.

To verify the domain:

1. Navigate to the *Domain* tab and click **Add Domain**.
    ![catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_mail_adding_domain](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/birthday-greetings/catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_mail_adding_domain.webp)

2. Enter the sender email address that you wish to configure and click **Create**.
    ![catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_mail_domain_create](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/birthday-greetings/catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_mail_domain_create.webp)

3. The domain will be listed in the *Domain* tab. Click the **Verify code** button next to the **Yet to verify** option.
    ![catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_mail_domain_verify_code](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/birthday-greetings/catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_mail_domain_verify_code.webp)

    This action will have automatically emailed you a verification code generated by Catalyst.

4. Copy the confirmation code from your email, paste it in the space provided, and click **Confirm**.
    ![catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_mail_domain_code_entry](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/birthday-greetings/catalyst_tutorials_jobscheduling_mail_domain_code_entry.webp)

    The domain will be verified, and the `Email Verified` badge will be added to the domain.
