Setup DKIM: how to add DNS records to your domain
DKIM helps email providers trust your messages. You’ll add a few CNAME records to your domain’s DNS.
Steps
Open your domain’s DNS settings
Log in to your domain host (e.g., Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Namecheap) and find DNS or DNS records.
Add a new record
Click Add record and choose CNAME as the type.
Fill in “Name / Host / Label”
- Copy the Name from our file and paste it here.
- It’ll look like:
selector123._domainkey
(yours will differ). Tip: some hosts auto-append your domain. If you see your domain already shown, don’t type it again.
Fill in “Target / Value / Destination”
- Copy the matching Value from our file and paste it here.
- It’ll look like:
selector123.dkim.emailservice.com
(yours will differ).
Save the record
Add all CNAME types to domain
Wait for DNS to update
Changes usually show up within an hour, but can take up to 72 hours.
Verify in the app
After adding all records, return to the app and click Send test email and see if the sender email was updated.
Need help?
