How to Create & Link a Custom Email Domain to Guestway

Why? Setting up a custom domain like guests.yourcompany.com allows you to send and receive emails through Guestway using your own branded address — so all messages from your website inquiries go directly to your Guestway Inbox.


Step 1 — Go to “Email Domain” Settings

  1. In Guestway, click Settings → Email Domain.

  2. Click “Create Domain.”


Step 2 — Add your subdomain Enter the subdomain you’d like to use — for example: 👉 guests.yourcompany.com

Guestway will generate the DNS records you’ll need to connect this subdomain to your account.


Step 3 — Add the DNS records Log in to your domain provider (like GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Google Domains, Namecheap, etc.). In your DNS settings, copy and paste all the records Guestway gives you:

  • MX records → to route incoming mail

  • TXT / SPF / DKIM / DMARC → to verify and authenticate sending

Save the changes.


Step 4 — Verify your domain in Guestway Once the records are active (this can take a few minutes or up to 24 hours):

  1. Go back to Settings → Email Domain.

  2. Click “Verify.” When the domain is verified, you’ll see a ✅ confirmation.


Step 5 — Create your Guestway email address

  1. Go to Settings → Guest Inbox.

  2. Click “Add Email.”

  3. Select your newly verified domain (guests.yourcompany.com).

  4. Choose a prefix (for example, info, bookings, or reservations). 👉 Your final email will look like [email protected].


Step 6 — Add this email to your website Replace your old inquiry address (like [email protected]) with your new Guestway email ([email protected]) on your direct booking website’s contact or inquiry form.

All messages sent there will now arrive automatically in your Guestway Inbox.


That’s it! Your branded subdomain is now connected to Guestway — every guest message from your website is centralized, tracked, and reply-ready from your unified inbox.
