# Who schedule email comes from

Schedule email can come from SmoothHiring, or from a connected Gmail or Outlook address. This does not publish a month by itself, and publishing does not create pay.

1. Open **Settings**, then **Scheduling**.
2. Under Staff email, leave **Email assigned staff when you publish** on if assigned people should get a link when you publish. You can turn it off for a single publish later.
3. Open **Send from**. SmoothHiring uses do-not-reply@smoothhiring.com. Choose **Gmail** or **Outlook** only after that mailbox is connected. If it is not connected, that choice opens connected apps.
4. Choose **Save email**.

**Connect Gmail or Outlook** sits under **Send from** while either mailbox is not connected.

## What you should see

The helper says replies go to the company owner’s email. Gmail and Outlook send from the connected address once you connect them. A connected mailbox shows that address in the list.

After **Save email**, the confirmation says Staff email saved.

## If something looks wrong

**Send from** still shows SmoothHiring. Gmail or Outlook says Connect to send from your address until that mailbox is connected. Use **Connect Gmail or Outlook**, then come back and choose it.

Staff did not get a message. **Email assigned staff when you publish** may be off, or you turned **Email assigned staff** off in the publish dialog. Publishing with the switch on is what sends the link. Choosing **Save email** alone does not publish the month.
