Connect your email

Last updated on Feb 04, 2026

Connect your support email to Commslayer to manage all customer conversations in one place.

What email address should I use?

Use a professional email on your own domain:

  • support@yourstore.com ✓
  • help@yourstore.com ✓
  • hello@yourbrand.com ✓

Do not use personal Gmail addresses like yourname@gmail.com or yourstorename@gmail.com. These have stricter rate limits and look unprofessional to customers.

If you don't have a domain email yet, set one up through Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 first.

Two ways to connect

Standard setup (recommended)

  • Setup time: 10 minutes
  • Sending limits: None
  • Works with: Gmail, Outlook, Zoho, any provider
  • Best for: Most stores

Gmail quick setup

  • Setup time: Instant
  • Sending limits: 1,500 emails/day
  • Works with: Gmail only
  • Best for: Low-volume testing

We recommend Standard setup for all stores. It works with any email provider and has no sending limits. Gmail's 1,500 emails/day cap can cause delivery failures during busy periods like sales or holidays.

Which should you choose?

Choose Standard setup if:

  • You expect more than 50 emails per day
  • You use Microsoft 365, Outlook, Zoho, or another provider
  • You want reliable delivery without limits
  • You're running a growing store

Choose Gmail only if:

  • You're testing Commslayer with low volume
  • You're certain you won't exceed 1,500 emails/day
