# Email verification
Source: https://docs.aden.space/docs/help/promote-grow/custom-email-verification

Verify the custom emails a team adds (contact, booking, demo-fallback) by having the recipient click a signed link, so you only show and send from addresses you own.

## What it is [#what-it-is]

When you add a custom email to your team. A public contact email, a
region-based booking email, or the demo-submission fallback. You can verify
it so recipients (and Aden) know the address really belongs to you. It works
just like verifying a custom email on Cal.com: we send a short "Verify your
email address" message to the address, and clicking the link confirms it.

Each address shows a small badge next to it:

* **Verified**: the recipient clicked the link; the address is confirmed.
* **Verification sent**: a verification email is on its way (you can resend).
* **Not verified**: no verification has been requested yet.

## Using it [#using-it]

1. Go to your team's **Settings → Email**.
2. Add or edit a contact email, booking email, or the demo/promo fallback email.
3. Click **Verify email** next to the address. We'll email a verification link
   to it.
4. Open that inbox and click **Verify email** in the message. You'll see an
   "Email verified" confirmation, and the address will show a green **Verified**
   badge back in settings (reload the page if needed).

The verification link expires after 48 hours, if it lapses, just click
**Resend** to get a fresh one.
