Every org can configure a custom email sender so transactional emails (invites, reward notifications, achievement unlocks) appear to come from your brand domain. If not configured, Nudj falls back to a platform default sender.

Configuring a custom sender

Open email settings

Organisation Settings -> General -> Email Configuration (#1571).

Enter sender details

  • From name — e.g. “Your Brand”.
  • From email — e.g. community@yourbrand.com.
  • Reply-to — optional override.

Verify domain

Nudj provides SPF / DKIM records for your DNS. Add them to your domain’s DNS config, then click Verify.

Save

All transactional emails now use your custom sender.

Fallback behaviour

Orgs without custom email setup automatically use the Nudj platform default (#1671). This means:
  • Members still receive emails reliably, even if you don’t configure your own sender.
  • You can delay custom sender setup without blocking the rest of your launch.
  • Emails arrive from a Nudj domain until you’re ready to brand.

DNS records

Nudj gives you three records to add:
  • SPF (authorises Nudj to send on your behalf)
  • DKIM (cryptographic signing)
  • DMARC (policy enforcement — optional but recommended)
Email deliverability improves significantly with all three configured.

Best practices

Use a subdomain (community.yourbrand.com) rather than your primary domain for email sending. Protects your primary domain’s reputation if something goes wrong with community emails.
Test before wide rollout — invite yourself to your org using the custom sender, verify deliverability, check that it passes Gmail/Outlook filters.
