  • Navigate to the "Domain Authentication" section in your SendGrid account.
  • Add the necessary DNS records to verify ownership of your domain.
  • Complete the authentication process by following the prompts provided.

Set-Up SendGrid for Multiple Domains

  • In your SendGrid account settings, locate the "Multiple Domains" option.
  • Add each domain you wish to authenticate.
  • Verify the domain ownership by adding the required DNS records.
  • Complete the authentication process for each domain.

Verify Domain Ownership on SendGrid

Verifying domain ownership is a critical step in ensuring that your emails are authenticated and delivered successfully. To verify your domain ownership on SendGrid:

  • Access the "Verify Domain" feature in your SendGrid account.
  • Follow the instructions provided to verify domain ownership.
  • Once verified, your domain will be authenticated for sending emails through SendGrid.

SendGrid DNS Configuration

Proper DNS configuration is essential for smooth email delivery through SendGrid. To configure DNS settings for SendGrid:

  • Access your DNS provider's dashboard.
