Zoho CRM: Email Deliverability


Email Deliverability 

Email is a significant part of communication in every business. Companies sometimes use different domains and marketing platforms to deliver the message to their recipients. In any case, it's crucial to establish an email relationship with your domain and marketing platform for a cohesive relationship between the two.


Zoho CRM provides email authentication standards that allow organizations to increase the trustworthiness of an email's origin when they choose to send emails from Zoho CRM using their domain.
