A guide from Superhuman. We'd love to hear your feedback!

Background

When you send someone an email, that person's email app checks several things to tell whether your message is spam. This guide explains how to set up three items that make your emails look more legitimate, so they're less likely to land in the spam folder.

What do I need before starting?

• [ ] The domain for your Google Workspace (G Suite) account. If your address is [email protected], your domain is superhuman.com.

• [ ] Access to the service you use to manage your domain. Common examples include CloudFlare, GoDaddy, and Squarespace.

• [ ] Access to your domain's Google Admin Console, available at admin.google.com.

What do I do once I have that?

1. Setting up SPF

1. Sign into the service you use to manage your email domain (like CloudFlare or Squarespace).
