Getting Started
You can set up a dedicated email domain at the account level for your agency or at the sub-account level. Today, we’ll focus on setting it up at the sub-account level.
Step 1: Log In and Navigate to Settings
- Log in to Your Account: Start by logging into your GoHighLevel account.

Step 2: Access Email Services
- Scroll Down to Email Services: Within the settings, scroll down until you see “Email Services.”
- Click on Email Services: Click this tab to open the email settings.
Step 3: Choose Your Subdomain
- Select a Subdomain: You can use subdomains like no-reply, mail, or inbox. It should be in the format: subdomain.yourdomain.com.
- Example: Let’s use mail.funnel.ai.com.
Step 4: Add and Verify Your Domain
- Click Add and Verify: After entering your subdomain, click “Add and Verify.”
- Use the Wizard: If you have a major domain provider, the wizard will handle the setup. Just follow the prompts and authorize the integration.
Step 5: Manual Setup for Non-Major Providers
If your provider isn’t supported by the wizard:
- Click Manual Setup: Click the button for manual setup to see the DNS records.
- Log In to Your Domain Provider: Access the DNS settings with your domain provider (e.g., GoDaddy).
- Add DNS Records: For each record type (TXT, CNAME, MX):
- TXT Record: Enter the details as provided.
- CNAME Record: Follow the same process, ensuring you remove any trailing URLs.
- Save Each Record: Save each DNS record after entering the details.
Step 6: Verify DNS Records
- Click Verify Records: After adding all records, click “Verify Records.”
- Wait for Verification: It might take a few moments for the system to verify. If not verified, recheck your DNS entries and try again.
Step 7: Confirm SSL Certificate
- Verify SSL Certificate: Once the domain is verified, the SSL certificate will be issued.
- Final Verification: Ensure that your domain is fully verified and secured.
