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.

A. Set up SPF

To set up SPF for GoDaddy:

  1. Go to www.godaddy.com and log in.
  2. Click Add New Record.
  3. In the Add DNS Record dialog box fill out the following fields:
    • Host: locate the SPF TXT record of your sender on your account in our platform and enter the TXT record name. Enter @ to map the record directly to your domain name.
    • TXT value: locate the SPF TXT records of your sender on your account in our platform and enter the provided TXT record value. Example SPF TXT record value for your GoDaddy provider:
       
      v=spf1 include:spfa.mailendo.com ~all
    • TTL: select for how long the server must cache the information.
  4. Click Ok. 

B. Set up DKIM

To set up DKIM for GoDaddy:

  1. Go to www.godaddy.com and log in.
  2. Click Add New Record.
  3. In the Add DNS Record dialog box fill out the following fields:
    • Host: enter the subdomain of your host name, such as www or ftp. After locating the DKIM record of your sender on your account in our platform, use only the value ms._domainkey as a TXT Name for your GoDaddy provider (do not use the part that contains your domain name, because Godaddy adds the domain automatically).
