SPF/DKIM Records – Stamped

SPF (Sender Policy Framework) and DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) are email authentication protocols that help to verify the authenticity of emails sent from a domain. You must complete this step before using Stamped. Without configuring this, your review requests will not successfully deliver.

In this process, you will retrieve the DNS records from Stamped, add them to the Domain Registrar in your Domain Control Panel, and then validate the records.

Adding the Records

Once you've collected the records, it's time to add them to your ESP.

For the following domain hosts, please click on it for the instructions on how to add the DNS records:

Note

The custom DNS records are required only when you set up your own email address as the From Email address instead of the default email address, i.e., reviews@stamped.io.
Most domain registrars automatically add the domain extension to CNAME records, as such you will need to be sure to remove ".yourdomain.com" from the end of each host/name while creating them.
Domain registrars like BigCommerce require you to add the domain extension.
Some registrars may not allow underscore in the Name/Host fields. In that case, you can either contact the domain registrar to create the records on the back end or reach us to update the recommended Name/Host for you.
Cloudflare users take note–the proxy needs to be disabled in the newly added records:

Steps to add your records to GoDaddy

Follow the instructions in this guide from GoDaddy.

Select your domain name in the list to access the Domain Settings page.
Go Additional Settings and select Manage DNS.

1. Add the records according the values given in the deliverability settings in your Stamped account: https://go.stamped.io/v3/#/settings/spfdkim. Here's an example of how the records should be added, with the domain name excluded under the "name" field.
