How to setup SPF and DKIM TXT records for your domain

How to setup SPF and DKIM TXT records for your domain

At Zoho Campaigns, we strongly urge you to authenticate your domain by implementing SPF and DKIM. To successfully authenticate your sender domain, you need to set up your SPF and DKIM TXT records. Authenticating your sender domain is a simple process that involves four easy steps.
  1. Add your sender domain.
  2. Copy the SPF and DKIM TXT records from your Zoho Campaigns account.
  3. Add the SPF and DKIM TXT records to the DNS server.
  4. Verify your domain in your Zoho Campaigns account after adding the SPF and DKIM TXT records to the DNS server.

Add your sender domain 

  1. Log in to your Zoho Campaigns account.
  2. From the navigation toolbar, choose Settings.
  3. Select Manage Senders under Deliverability.          
     
      4. Click the Add Sender button on the top-right corner of the screen.
      5. You can enter up to 5 sender email addresses if you want.
      6. Click the Send Verification Email button to receive verification emails at the email address you have provided.


      7. To verify your email addresses, log in to your email client and open the verification email sent by Zoho Campaigns.
      8. Click the Verify your email address button in the email to complete the verification process.
      9. Once verified, you will find your sender address (Example: patricia.b@zylker.com) listed under the Sender Address tab and the domain (zylker.com) listed under the Domain Authentication tab.

     Note: If you have not received the verification email, please check all the folders/filters in your email client. If you still don't find them, please contact support@zohocampaigns.com.

Copy SPF and DKIM record values from Zoho Campaigns 

Only the organization's admin has the privilege to access domain authentication settings. You can contact your organization's admin and ask them to help you authenticate your sender domain.

We've provided the steps of the most popular domain-hosting websites below. However, if you don't find your website in the list, please contact your domain-hosting website's administrator to help you set up the text records. Alternatively, you can also contact your system admin/network admin to configure the TXT records in the DNS settings of your domain.
