00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:05.540
Hi. In this video, I'll show you how to set up your sender domain in your Simplero account.

2
00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:11.059
From your Simplero dashboard, click on the cog icon in the top right corner of the screen.

3
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:13.620
In your account settings,

4
00:00:14.225 --> 00:00:17.925
in the marketing column, click on email settings

5
00:00:18.865 --> 00:00:21.045
and that should open up this page.

6
00:00:21.665 --> 00:00:24.325
The first thing that we'll do is add the sender email.

7
00:00:25.585 --> 00:00:30.580
You will receive a verification email to that inbox that you will need to open

8
00:00:31.680 --> 00:00:33.780
to verify your email address.

9
00:00:34.400 --> 00:00:38.660
Then the next thing that we need to do is add the sender domain.

10
00:00:43.135 --> 00:00:44.995
And once you get your domain

11
00:00:45.934 --> 00:00:49.774
added you'll notice this list of records here.

12
00:00:49.774 --> 00:00:52.274
The last thing that we need to do is set up the DMARC.

13
00:00:54.370 --> 00:00:59.750
And now we're ready to move over to the DNS manager. You'll want to log in

14
00:01:00.449 --> 00:01:03.829
to the account where you originally purchased your domain.

15
00:01:04.450 --> 00:01:06.150
For me, that is GoDaddy.

16
00:01:06.850 --> 00:01:12.245
And I'm gonna leave this tab open and work back and forth between the two tabs, my DNS manager

17
00:01:13.745 --> 00:01:15.285
and my Simplero account

18
00:01:15.825 --> 00:01:20.085
because we have these nifty little copy to clipboard icons. So

19
00:01:21.025 --> 00:01:23.605
it makes it easy to transfer these records

20
00:01:24.140 --> 00:01:25.680
into the DNS manager.

21
00:01:26.220 --> 00:01:27.520
Once you've logged into

22
00:01:28.220 --> 00:01:30.080
your domain host account,

23
00:01:31.180 --> 00:01:33.040
look for the DNS manager

24
00:01:34.140 --> 00:01:37.200
for the domain that you're working with today. Again,

25
00:01:37.740 --> 00:01:39.520
my DNS manager is GoDaddy.

26
00:01:40.435 --> 00:01:41.415
This is the

27
00:01:41.955 --> 00:01:45.895
these are the record for this particular domain that I'm working with.

28
00:01:46.115 --> 00:01:49.494
And I'm just gonna find where to start adding new records.

29
00:01:49.715 --> 00:01:52.375
That's what you're gonna want to do as well.

30
00:01:53.180 --> 00:01:53.680
So

31
00:01:54.060 --> 00:01:55.280
let's get started.

32
00:01:57.660 --> 00:01:59.520
Okay, we've got type, name,

33
00:01:59.980 --> 00:02:06.080
and value fields. And you'll notice in your Simplero account you also have type, name, and value.

34
00:02:06.380 --> 00:02:08.080
It may not be the exact

35
00:02:10.405 --> 00:02:11.145
same label,

36
00:02:14.645 --> 00:02:18.985
but you should find something similar no matter what domain host you're using.

37
00:02:19.125 --> 00:02:24.060
Let's start with this first record, a TXT record. The record type is TXT.

38
00:02:25.099 --> 00:02:27.120
And I'm gonna go ahead and copy the value

39
00:02:27.420 --> 00:02:29.280
over here. If you'll notice,

40
00:02:29.660 --> 00:02:31.680
this one name for this record

41
00:02:32.140 --> 00:02:38.375
does not have a copy to clipboard icon, and that's because it's meant to be like your root domain.

42
00:02:38.375 --> 00:02:45.835
So depending on your DNS manager, you're either going to add an at symbol in the name field, and I'll show you that.

43
00:02:46.055 --> 00:02:47.435
So this is a TXT

44
00:02:47.895 --> 00:02:48.395
record.

45
00:02:49.090 --> 00:02:49.590
And

46
00:02:50.609 --> 00:02:56.950
for GoDaddy, they require that you enter an at symbol when the name should be, like, just the root domain.

47
00:02:57.250 --> 00:03:01.750
And then in the value field, we're going to paste the record that we just copied,

48
00:03:02.225 --> 00:03:06.325
and that's all it takes. Depending on, again, depending on your domain host,

49
00:03:07.665 --> 00:03:12.725
you'll either put an at symbol here or they may require that you leave the field blank altogether.

50
00:03:12.785 --> 00:03:17.045
You can try it both ways. If you try to save that record and you get an error message,

51
00:03:17.460 --> 00:03:22.520
then try it the other way. There's no harm in that. So I'm gonna go ahead and add

52
00:03:23.140 --> 00:03:24.120
additional records.

53
00:03:24.420 --> 00:03:29.560
Your domain or your DNS manager may not allow you to add multiple records at one time.

54
00:03:29.700 --> 00:03:31.240
It doesn't just add them

55
00:03:31.795 --> 00:03:32.295
individually.

56
00:03:33.395 --> 00:03:37.335
So let's go move on to the next record. This is also a TXT record.

57
00:03:37.635 --> 00:03:40.135
We're gonna copy the name this time around.

58
00:03:41.395 --> 00:03:41.895
Oops.

59
00:03:42.435 --> 00:03:42.935
TXT.

60
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:47.500
And copy the value.

61
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:54.700
Then for the next one, it's a c name record,

62
00:03:55.720 --> 00:03:57.340
and I've copied the name.

63
00:04:00.305 --> 00:04:02.325
And let's go back and copy the value.

64
00:04:10.065 --> 00:04:12.965
The next is another c name record. So you have

65
00:04:14.760 --> 00:04:17.100
3 TXT records to add

66
00:04:18.200 --> 00:04:20.700
and 3 c name records to add.

67
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:23.740
But like I said, all it is is

68
00:04:24.200 --> 00:04:27.100
copy and paste from one place to the next.

69
00:04:30.955 --> 00:04:32.415
And we're almost there.

70
00:04:34.795 --> 00:04:35.295
Oops.

71
00:04:48.690 --> 00:04:49.430
And lastly,

72
00:04:50.449 --> 00:04:51.270
our demark,

73
00:04:51.970 --> 00:04:53.349
which is a TXT.

74
00:04:55.185 --> 00:04:56.165
Oops. Not that.

75
00:04:56.865 --> 00:04:59.365
And paste the name that I had copied

76
00:05:00.705 --> 00:05:03.685
and grabbing the value and adding that here.

77
00:05:04.385 --> 00:05:04.885
Just

78
00:05:05.585 --> 00:05:08.165
double check that everything looks right,

79
00:05:08.910 --> 00:05:11.170
then save all of those changes.

80
00:05:11.710 --> 00:05:12.610
And that's it.

81
00:05:13.550 --> 00:05:15.490
Select the correct record type

82
00:05:15.870 --> 00:05:16.370
and,

83
00:05:16.910 --> 00:05:22.370
copy and paste everything else, from your Simplero account. All of these were added successfully.

84
00:05:23.055 --> 00:05:25.075
Let's go back into Simplero,

85
00:05:26.095 --> 00:05:28.275
to see if anything has verified yet.

86
00:05:28.575 --> 00:05:30.195
If it doesn't, it is

87
00:05:31.055 --> 00:05:33.075
nothing to be concerned about.

88
00:05:34.575 --> 00:05:35.395
That said,

89
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:41.980
if you check back after 24 hours and the records have not verified, you'll want to check with the team.

90
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:44.700
There may be something else going on.

91
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:46.860
But

92
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:53.005
you can click check domain as often as you want. You can leave this page and come back,

93
00:05:54.745 --> 00:05:55.884
do other things,

94
00:05:56.425 --> 00:05:58.764
set a timer to come back every 30 minutes

95
00:05:59.145 --> 00:06:00.845
or so and check the domain

96
00:06:02.104 --> 00:06:03.210
so that you're not

97
00:06:04.090 --> 00:06:05.069
concerned and

98
00:06:05.530 --> 00:06:06.830
just staring

99
00:06:08.009 --> 00:06:10.990
and waiting for waiting for the domain to verify.

100
00:06:12.889 --> 00:06:17.134
And, again, you can click this as many times as you want. I'm gonna give it some time.

101
00:06:18.395 --> 00:06:20.815
It's been a couple of minutes. I'm gonna try again.

102
00:06:23.914 --> 00:06:24.655
Not yet.

103
00:06:26.155 --> 00:06:32.890
Okay. So I left for about 30 minutes and came back and hit check domain, and everything

104
00:06:33.910 --> 00:06:35.370
came back as verified.

105
00:06:35.990 --> 00:06:42.010
So we are all set. The last thing there is to do is verify from my email inbox, and

106
00:06:43.350 --> 00:06:46.055
that's all. Alright. Hope it's helpful. Thanks.
