# Connect your mailbox

Your primary mailbox is the email account Ava sends from and uses to detect replies and booked meetings.

### Connect your primary mailbox

1. Go to [**Profile**](https://dashboard.artisan.co/profile)
2. Scroll to the **Outreach Channels** card
3. Open the **Primary Mailbox** tab
4. Click **Connect Mailbox**
5. Choose **Connect using Google** or **Connect using Microsoft**
6. Sign in and authorize access

Once connected, add:

* Your **meeting booking link**
* Your **email signature**
* Your **daily send limit** (editable on the sender's profile)

> Your meeting booking link should be on the same email account as your primary mailbox. If it's on a different email, Ava can't verify when meetings are booked and will keep following up.

### Primary vs secondary mailboxes

* **Primary mailbox**: your real work email. Used for high-trust outreach and reply detection.
* **Secondary mailboxes**: purchased domains used to scale volume without harming your primary domain's deliverability.

Secondary mailboxes are purchased separately and take roughly 2 weeks to warm up. See *Mailbox purchasing*.

### Turning off primary mailbox sending

If you only want to send from secondary mailboxes, go to campaign settings → **Advanced** and turn off primary.
