It is very important to set up SPF and DKIM correctly as it improves the deliverability of your campaigns. First, you must make sure you know where to find the required SPF and DKIM information inside your account in our platform then set up SPF and DKIM on your provider.

Usually, it takes 30 minutes for newly created records to take effect. Also, we recommend that you have checked the validity of your SPF and DKIM records.

Warning: Do not create two SPF records because this makes your SPF invalid. If you already have an existing SPF record, edit it instead of creating a new one.
