Verify Domain in SendGrid
1. **Log in to your SendGrid account**: Go to the SendGrid website and log in.
2. **Navigate to Sender Authentication**:
– Click on "Settings" in the left sidebar.
– Select "Sender Authentication."
3. **Choose Domain Authentication**:
– Click on "Authenticate Your Domain."
4. **Select Your DNS Host**:
– Choose your DNS provider from the dropdown list. If your provider is not listed, select "Other."
5. **Enter Your Domain Information**:
– Fill in your domain name (e.g., `yourdomain.com`).
– Specify whether you want to use a subdomain (e.g., `mail.yourdomain.com`) or the root domain.
6. **Get Your DNS Records**:
– SendGrid will generate DNS records (CNAME, TXT, etc.) that you need to add to your DNS provider.
7. **Add DNS Records**:
– Log in to your DNS provider's dashboard.
– Add the provided DNS records exactly as specified by SendGrid.
8. **Verify Your Domain**:
– After adding the DNS records, go back to SendGrid and click "Verify." It may take some time for the DNS changes to propagate.
9. **Check Verification Status**:
– Once verified, you will see a confirmation message. If not verified, double-check the DNS records for accuracy and wait for propagation.
### Important Notes:
– **Propagation Time**: DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours to propagate, so be patient.
– **Email Testing**: Once verified, you can send test emails to ensure everything is working correctly.
