DKIM Configuration | Zoho Forms - User Guide

DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM)

DKIM is a security mechanism that validates an email, checking if emails were sent from a valid source and not tampered with during transit. DKIM ensures that emails will be delivered to the inbox of its intended recipient since the validity of the email has already been verified.

Sending Emails via Verified Domains

Once you complete the DKIM configuration and get your domain verified, you can use it to send emails from Zoho Forms.

  1. After creating a form, in your form builder, navigate to Settings > General > DKIM & SMTP.              
  2. Choose a DKIM authenticated domain from the Send email via dropdown. 
  3. Henceforth, all emails for this form will be sent from the selected domain.

Note: Only if your email address contains an authenticated domain name, emails will be sent using that domain. If not, emails will be sent using the default domain from Zoho Forms.
