Ensure your emails reach your members' inboxes by setting up a verified custom email domain. This simple process improves deliverability, builds sender reputation, and maintains your brand consistency across all communications.
Why Use a Custom Email Domain?
Using a verified custom email domain significantly improves your email deliverability by:
Building sender reputation with email providers like Gmail and Yahoo
Reducing the chance of your emails landing in spam folders
Creating a consistent brand experience for your members
Increasing open rates for your marketing campaigns
ℹ️ INFO: This applies to all outbound emails from your site, including welcome emails, order confirmations, and marketing campaigns.
Quick Setup Guide
Follow these steps to access your email settings and prepare for custom domain setup:
Navigate to Settings > Marketing Email Settings
Customize the From Name and Email
From Name field: the sender name
From Email field: the prefix of your sender email (
@no-reply.uscreen.io)
Custom Email Domain
Now let's configure your domain to work with Uscreen's email system:
Navigate to Settings > Marketing Email Settings
Customize the From Name and Email
Click Set Custom Email Domain
Step 1: Connect your email domain
Enter your custom domain or subdomain into the provided field
Click Connect
Step 2: Install DNS Records
You’ll be shown three DNS records to add to your DNS provider
e.g., Namecheap, GoDaddy, or where your active DNS records are hosted
Open your DNS Manager with your DNS provider
Copy and Paste (create) each DNS record exactly as shown
📝 NOTE: The CNAME (pm-bounces) and TXT (_dmarc) records remain constant, but the domainkey record will be different each time you attempt the process. If you need to restart verification, a new domainkey and value will be generated.
Step 3: Verify your settings
Toggle I've added all records...
Click Start Verification
📝 NOTE: DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate. If verification fails initially, try again later. The verification option will remain available for 48 hours. If this time passes and the option disappears, you'll need to restart the process, and a new domainkey record will be generated.
When successful, the DNS status will show Verified 
! 🎉
Step 4: Complete the Setup
After your domain shows Verified, click Save
Click Mark as Done
in the "Protect your email reach" section
Your custom domain is now ready to use for all outgoing emails.
Manage Your Email Settings
After successful verification, you can:
Change your sender name at any time
Modify the email prefix (the part before
@yourdomain.com)Revert to the default Uscreen email domain if needed
Switch to a different custom domain by repeating the setup process
ℹ️ INFO: All changes take effect immediately for future emails.
