The [local-part](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#Local-part) can be anything you like.\n\nTo add an external email address such as help@omniwearshop.com, the email must already exist and you must set up forwarding on your email server. The exact steps depend on your mail server. See [Forwarding incoming email to Zendesk Support](https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203663266). After setting up forwarding, run the [Verify Support Address Forwarding](#verify-support-address-forwarding) endpoint. The address won't work in Zendesk Support until it's been verified.\n\n#### Allowed For\n\n* Admins\n* Agents with permission to manage channels and extensions.
