Using this method allows you to keep a copy of all inbound email messages in your own email system. In your email system, create email redirect rules to send incoming email messages to the yourAccountName.myPureCloud.com domain. Then, set up your Genesys Cloud domain and email addresses in Genesys Cloud Admin.

Note: If emails forward to Genesys Cloud from another mail server, enter that server’s email address in the Reply To field. This configuration restricts Genesys Cloud from replying to the mail server and creating extra ACD email interactions.

  8. Click Save.
  9. To add extra email addresses, click Add Email Address and repeat steps 1–7.

Your company’s name is Initech and you already have the email address support@Initech.com. If you want to continue using that email address, you can set up a redirect rule to send email from support@Initech.com to your Genesys Cloud email domain, using an address like support@Initech.myPureCloud.com. If you set the Reply To value to be support@Initech.com in your Genesys Cloud domain configuration, then your customers see that address in the reply-to field of the email messages that they receive from agents. The From field in email replies is support@Initech.myPureCloud.com.

In the Genesys Cloud domain configuration, set up the email address record as:

Option Example
Email Address support@Initech.myPureCloud.com
From Name Customer Support
Reply To (forwarding address)

In replies, customers see:

From: Customer Support <support@Initech.myPureCloud.com>

Reply To: support@Initech.com
