I’m trying to enter an employee’s address but cannot. Why?
The answer depends on the type of email address you’re trying to enter:

– If you’re trying to add a business email, make sure the email domain is on your “allowed list” of organization domains.

– If you’re trying to add a freemail address (e.g., Gmail), make sure you’ve enabled the ability to override email domains.
