Set up #deliver

Configure your email system so your team can trigger secure Documentd delivery from their normal email accounts, without sending document attachments into the customer’s inbox.

⏱ 10–30 minutes ⚙️ Admin access required

Overview

#deliver lets your users send documents securely from approved business email addresses. The email triggers Documentd delivery, but the attached files are not sent into the customer’s Gmail, Outlook, or other inbox.

Key idea: email is the sending interface, but Documentd is the delivery channel.

Before you start

Before you configure #deliver, your organisation needs a Documentd account and customer-facing branding.

1. Create your account

Sign up for Documentd and verify your email address.

2. Add your branding

Add your company name, logo and optional brand colour so customers recognise the delivery experience.

3. Open the admin portal

Once your account is active, configure email routing from the admin portal.

Go to admin portal →

How setup works

1 Create a routing rule

Your mail system identifies emails containing #deliver.

2 Route them to Documentd

Matching emails are routed securely to Documentd for processing.

3 Documentd delivers

Customers receive secure access instead of inbox attachments.

Microsoft 365 setup

For Microsoft 365, use the dedicated setup guide. Documentd can support an automated setup process where admin access is available, or a manual configuration using Exchange routing.

Other email systems

Other email platforms can be configured by creating an equivalent routing rule. The rule should identify messages containing #deliver and route those messages to Documentd.

Your IT administrator should ensure that only approved business domains can route messages to Documentd.

Test the setup

Once routing is configured, send a test message from an approved email account.

To customer@example.com
Subject Test document delivery

Hello,

Please find your test document attached.

If setup is working, Documentd will process the attachment and the customer will receive secure access to the document.

What users do after setup

Once #deliver is enabled, ordinary users do not need to think about routing or configuration. They simply add #deliver when they want Documentd to handle secure delivery.
