Send through your own email domain (SMTP)

Five fields and a test send, and every email HoldFast sends for you arrives from your address instead of ours.

An email from your own domain gets opened; an email from a platform nobody at the client recognizes gets squinted at. SMTP setup points every email HoldFast sends (invites, notifications, outreach sends) through your server, from your address.

Configure it

In Settings, open the SMTP section and fill five fields: host, port, username, password, and the From address. Your email provider publishes the first four (search "your-provider SMTP settings"); the From address is who your recipients will see.

Test it

Use the test email button before trusting it with a real send. A test that arrives is a configuration that works; a test that does not usually means a wrong port or an app-specific password requirement at your provider.

What is protected

Credentials are encrypted at rest and decrypted only at send time. And nothing breaks without SMTP: HoldFast falls back to its platform default sender, so email always flows. Your domain is the deliverability and trust upgrade, not a dependency.

With the sender sorted, the templates control what the messages say, and tracking tells you honestly what happened after send.
