Authenticating an email domain
Prevent event emails you send from going to spam by authenticating your email domain. Domain authentication also prevents forgery and phishing.
Add email domain
Generate the TXT record values for SPF and DKIM verification by adding your email's domain in Backstage. The latter part of your email address is its domain. For example, if your email address is
mark.gates@zylker.com
, then your email's domain is zylker.com.
- Click the Settings tab in the top bar of your portal.
- Click Branding.
- Click Domain authentication.
- Click the Add Domain button. The Add Domain panel will display.
- Enter the domain of your email in the Domain name textbox.
- Click the Add button.
Note:
- The domain name that you add should either be used by the portal's administrator or the primary contact you've set for event communications.
- You can also authenticate your email domain in the Branding tab of your event's Manage dashboard.
Verify SPF for your domain
SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is an open, DNS-based email authentication system that allows your email domain to choose which IP addresses can send emails on your behalf.

Note: DNS setup usually updates within 24-48 hours. Your email domain will be verified only after the update is complete.
Verify DKIM for your domain
DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is an open, DNS-based email authentication system that is used to ensure that an email has not been altered in transmission.
