When someone sends an email to your custom email address, B12's email forwarding feature automatically forwards it to your personal inbox.
Setting up an email forwarding address is a simple yet powerful tool for users—allowing you to present a professional front while streamlining communication. B12 supports email forwarding for email addresses hosted on your custom domain (e.g., yourdomain.com) to help you put your best foot forward with all digital communication.
What is email forwarding?
An email forwarding address functions as a type of mask for your email. It allows clients to send inquiries to a business email without the effort of setting up a business email profile. All emails sent to a forwarding address are automatically redirected to a designated personal inbox. This not only helps maintain a polished brand image but also keeps important messages centralized and accessible, ensuring no client inquiries are missed.
Essentially, you can set up one or more email addresses for your domain in B12 (e.g., contact@yourdomain.com) and have them forward messages to your personal email account (e.g., yourname@gmail.com).
