I have a domain, but I don't have Email address yet.

I want to use 'Trigger Email' of Firebase for my domain only, is that possible? There is an item called 'Default FROM address' in the setting of 'Trigger Email', I think that an email address is necessary.

Does anyone know how to set up 'Trigger Email' without an email address?

You need to setup an SMTP service provider which sends the emails on your behalf.

Firebase lets you set a 'Default FROM address but the SMTP provider may filter out emails that do not meet their quality criteria.

Usually / Often one has to confirm with the SMTP provider that one is the owner of the "From address", sometimes the domain is enough.

This is a measurement against spammers using their services.

So it is more a question of what your SMTP provider accepts.

  • Thank you for your comment! I'm using Sendgrid. Does it mean that you can send an email to sendgrid even if I use an email address that I can't actually use, as long as you authenticate the domain to sendgrid, and it will be displayed as the sending name to the other party? – ggg May 21 '22 at 14:09
  • @ggg Maybe. As I wrote that depends on the policy of Sendgrid,, the SMTP provider. You need to check their docs to understand if this is allowed .. or if you actually need a working email-address. – Dabbel May 21 '22 at 14:11
