With HelpSpace, you can also connect a channel to your email inbox via SMTP. The advantage of this method is that no DKIM-Records and Return-Path need to be made with your DNS provider.

How to set up the SMTP Channel

  1. Go to Settings → Channels → Channel and click Create Channel.

  2. Enter the name and email address.
