# Email Configuration

To start sending email in Daisychain, you'll need to have do a bit of setup.

#### Senders

Navigate to *Settings > Channels > Email > Senders > Add* to begin the three step configuration wizard which will walk you through the following three steps:

1. Setup your identity by entering your display name and email address
2. Verify your domain by adding three CNAME records to your DNS provider. *If you're not sure what that means, ask your website administrator or IT department.*
3. Confirmation and completion!

If you've already configured your domain in Daisychain and are just adding a new sender/name, you'll be able to automatically skip Step 2.
{% endhint %}

#### Layouts

Your Daisychain account comes with a default layout which you can customize. This default template is simple and readable for recipients on a wide variety of email clients and devices. It contains a few things that are legally required for automated email, like:

* Account Name
* Mailing Address
* Unsubscribe Link

If you do want to customize this default layout, hit the "Customize" button to make edits using the MJML markup language, and save your new layout.
