Step 4 – Adding a new domain

Now, we will need to add the domain used to send emails. Continue by clicking on the “Add Domain” button.

Step 5 – Verifying the domain

After adding the domain, you will have to copy and import the records to your DNS provider (e.g. DNS Made Easy, GoDaddy). Continue to the next step after all the DNS records have been imported to your DNS environment.

Note: You can also click on “Download records CSV” from the “Actions” menu to save these records as a CSV file.

Step 6 – Verifying the domain and navigating to the Plan Settings tab

After you have added all the DNS records to your domain, click on “Check if verified” to see if the status changes to “Verified”. Continue to the next step only if the domain has been verified.

Note: Depending on your DNS system, your domain may take up to 24 hours to update DNS records.

Step 7 – Enabling and generating the email relay secret key

In this part, you will need to enable the Email Relay toggle, and copy the “Email Relay key” which is the secret key that will be used to authenticate the transport flow of your emails. At the “Plan Settings” page, scroll to the “Email Relay Integration” section.

A section number 2, check the “Only affect specific envelope senders” checkbox, select “Pattern match” at the drop-down menu, enter “.*[@]domain[.]com$” (Without double quotes), instead of domain and com, replace with your domain’s name and your top-level domain (e.g. .net, .com, .org). Click on “Test expression” and enter your email address, make sure the status is “Match”.
