We highly recommend our users to set up SPF and DKIM TXT records for their domains to ensure good email delivery. Adding TXT records is a very simple three-step process:
- Add a sender domain to your Pabbly account.
- Copy SPF and DKIM record values from Pabbly.
- Go to your domain hosting website’s Settings page and paste the copied record values and Publish them to the DNS servers.
- After your records are published, go to your Pabbly account and verify your domain.
We’ve provided the steps of the most popular domain-hosting websites below.
However, if you don’t find your website on 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.
