# Cognito user emails

In our basic Cognito User Pool setup, we are allowing Cognito to send emails on behalf of the application. Cognito will send emails at a number of occasions, for example:

* Email Verification
* Password Reset

{% hint style="warning" %}
By default, the email messages that Amazon Cognito sends to users in your user pools come from **no-reply@verificationemail.com**
{% endhint %}

To customize the FROM email address, in the Cognito console, choose your userpool.&#x20;

* Choose **Message customizations.**&#x20;
* In **Message customizations,** choose a **SES Region** .&#x20;
* In the **FROM email address ARN** field enter your email address.&#x20;
* Verify the Amazon Simple Email Service identity by choosing the link after the **FROM email address ARN field.**
