# Configure Sender Email Address

In this application, we are going to be sending the product tour emails from within the application to the end-user using the Catalyst Cloud Scale [Mail](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/mail/introduction/) component.
You can configure the email address as follows:

To configure an appropriate sender email address:

1. Navigate to the **Mail** component present under the *Notify* section in the *Cloud Scale* section of the console.

2. Enter the *Display Name* as **Onboarding**, and enter the email address you are going to use to send out emails to your end-users. Click **Add Email**.

The email address will be added.

But, to use it and to ensure that the email address used is secure and valid, you will need to verify it.

3. Click the **Click to confirm** button, and enter the code sent to the entered email address.
  ![catalyst_tutorials_signals_event_app_mail_confirmed](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/event-app/catalyst_tutorials_signals_event_app_mail_confirmed.webp)

The email address will be confirmed.

Next step is to verify the domain.

4. Click the **Domain** tab, and click **Add Domain**.

> **Note:** If you are using a public email service provider such as **Gmail** or **Outlook** for your sender address, you can skip this process. Domain validation is required only when you use a sender email hosted on a private or custom domain. For more details, refer to the [Help documentation](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/mail/domains/).

5. Re-enter the email address you are going to be using to send out emails and click **Create**.
  ![catalyst_tutorials_signals_event_app_mail_renter_domain](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/event-app/catalyst_tutorials_signals_event_app_mail_renter_domain.webp)

Since the email address has already been confirmed, it will be automatically verified.
![catalyst_tutorials_signals_event_app_mail_domain_verified](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/event-app/catalyst_tutorials_signals_event_app_mail_domain_verified.webp)

With the email address confirmed and the domain verified, the Mail component has been successfully configured for this application.
![catalyst_tutorials_signals_event_app_mail_completed](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/event-app/catalyst_tutorials_signals_event_app_mail_completed.webp)

This email can now be used to send out the required mails to the end-users of your application.
