Not sure who on your IT team to reach out to? The information below provides some guidance to get users in touch with the right people at their organization, as well as provides some top-level guidance to the technical team that will be looped in.
Add your IT contacts as users to the platform. We recommend bringing them in as Admins, so that they have the correct privileges to test and confirm your integrations. You can always readjust and/or downgrade these permissions later as you see fit.

By default, all series sent through Axios HQ come from our email address, noreply@axioshq.com. Setting up a custom domain allows you to decide what email address your series will send from. This makes your messaging friendlier, lets you stay on-brand, and gives your audience confidence that your communications are coming from you!
💻 Tech connect: in order to set up a custom domain you should reach out to the folks in charge of:

SSO
Single sign-on (SSO) is an authentication that allows a user — someone who will write, edit, or send your series — to log in with just their email address and the click of a button. No password necessary! Implementing this method allows for an easy sign on for employees with particular credentials, and provides security when off-boarding those you no longer wish to have access.
💻 Tech connect: setting up an SSO connection will require whomever is in charge of your organizations IdP, or Identity Provider.
