0:26 It is under the hood in terms of your, your, your brand name's. Name will be the main emphasis and the email kind of just looks like a notification, but you can also configure a custom domain for this.

0:42 So it will be, it will be sent from your custom domain or what we recommend is, is setting up your own email service and we integrate with a few providers.

0:53 We, we recommend strongly to set up SendGrid or going other and setting up mail gun in here. Obviously that will entail you setting up a male gun account, setting up your domain, and then getting the SMTP details that male gun generates for you.

1:12 And adding it into here please watch the corresponding videos and instructions that male gun has in terms of connecting your domain and also configuring your SMTP protocols.

1:25 It's super simple. They generate all of this for you and it's very easy to set up. We also recommend looking at SendGrid, they make it super easy.

1:33 All you have to do is to sign up for a SendGrid accounts, attach your domain. They've got a ton of documentation on doing that, and then it's as easy as just specifying your username, your email and password that they generate for you.

1:47 You can set up Gmail and Yahoo like but you have to, there's a few extra steps that you have to take for that.

2:08 Otherwise it won't won't save. There's a ton of tutorials in terms of this. On, on on YouTube and also on Google.

2:16 On Google, obviously the search platform and they have a bunch of documentation to it. Our recommendation is for you to either use SendGrid or Mail Gun.

2:25 We use, we personally use Mail Gun pretty much every day. But SendGrid is an amazing solution and a lot more simpler.

2:33 But in saying that if, if if if you've maybe if you, if you've maybe watched the documentation of Mail Gun and maybe a YouTube video here and there mail gun is super easy and also quite affordable.

2:48 Basically it's like basically free per month. And if you start hitting volumes, it's also like very, very cheap. Like, it's like if you send a, a couple of thousand emails a month, It's a few, it's a few cents a month.

3:01 And then I'm not sure about PR SendGrid, but I know that they are also very reasonable and also quite relatively cheap in terms of the great service that they provide.

3:14 So, yeah our recommendation, male Gun and Srid, and obviously there's a ton of other solutions out there. Please feel free to experiment with that.

3:22 And you can also if, if you wanted to explore assigning a dedicated domain that is basically attaching over the Male Gun api, but basically we really recommend for you to use your own SMT p and doing Advice Ingrid and Male Gun.

3:38 Cheers guys.
