Enter your domain name
Add the DNS records to your DNS provider and click Verify (note the βgorelo.β subdomain on everything).

Adding a custom domain will automatically create two custom email addresses that you can make changes to.
help@ will be created as your default ticketing email address

Click the edit button on the far right of the help@ email address
Update any fields you need to:

Forwarding email to Gorelo
Navigate to Settings β> Email β> Settings
Copy the Forwarding Address of your default ticketing email address E.g help@gorelo.gorelodomain.com
Navigate to your email provider
Find the matching mailbox (without the gorelo. subdomain) E.g help@gorelodomain.com
Configure this mailbox to forward to the Forwarding Address E.g help@gorelo.gorelodomain.com

Tips!
Make sure your email provider allows forwarding to external domains (on an individual mailbox level for security).
