Hey there,
Gather around! Setting up DKIM, SPF, and DMARC is a crucial step. They act like your email protectors, keeping your reputation safe, boosting your emails reaching the recipients' inboxes and getting responses.
That's why you have to get this done immediately! No worries, you'll be guided through whole DNS setting. Before we dive into the key points, remember that DKIM, SPF, and DMARC records are part of your DNS settings. You can find their settings on your domain provider's website and admin panel (like Squarespace, Namecheap, GoDaddy, and others).
Just so you know, it's all in the hands of your domain provider, not on Nureply. But don't worry, we're here to give you a hand. Getting these setup will supercharge your campaign results.🚀
The reason why should you use DMARC, SPF, and DKIM?
What's not widely known is why most businesses need all three of these safeguards for their email systems. In the world of IT, these solutions don't always overlap – they actually complement each other. It's likely that most companies will benefit from having all three. These records will keep your email reputation safe, boost your emails reaching the recipients' inboxes and getting more responses.

Generate a DKIM Key.
Craft a DNS TXT Record containing the DKIM key generated in the prior step.
To accomplish this, you will need to visit your domain provider, such as Squarespace, GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.

Setting up SPF:
Log in to your domain account via your domain host's website (not your Google Admin Console). This could be platforms like GoDaddy, Squarespace, Namecheap, and others.
Go to the section for updating your domain's DNS records. This might be labeled as DNS Management, Name Server Management, or Advanced Settings.
Find your TXT records and look if you have an existing SPF record for your domain. The SPF record typically starts with "v=spf1…".
If an SPF record is already in place for your domain, it's advisable to consult with your IT department and/or provider before making changes.
It's important to note that you cannot have more than 1 SPF record. Therefore, deletion of an existing record may not always be the optimal approach, as it could potentially disrupt other tools you're utilizing.
Rather, the recommended strategy is to expand your current SPF record to encompass additional providers.
5️. Create a TXT record and insert the following details:
Type: TXT
Name/Host/Alias - Enter @ or leave this field empty.
It's possible that other DNS records associated with your domain will indicate the appropriate entry.
TTL - Enter 3600 or stick with the default setting.
Value/Answer/Destination - Enter v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all
Please bear in mind that the provided value example is only valid when Google serves as your email provider.
In the event that your email provider differs from Google, we strongly recommend verifying the accurate value to employ by consulting your email provider. Unfortunately, we cannot verify this from our side.
It may take up to 72 hours for these changes to become effective.
