Step 1: Add your sending domain
During the sign up flow, you are asked to specify your desired sending domain. You can enter any domain here that you can set up DNS records for, and if you choose a subdomain, it doesn’t need to exist yet. We recommend using a subdomain for this, e.g.mail.yourcompany.com
, rather than sending from your root domain yourcompany.com
.

You do not need to create this subdomain with an A or CNAME record. Loops will
provide all DNS records you need to set up.
Step 2: Set up your records
From the Settings -> Domain page, click View records (or click this link to go directly).

Step 3: Add your domain records
Copy and paste the records one by one into your registrar. You want to use the Type (indicated as TXT, CNAME and MX) in setting up your records, not the title of the record e.g. SPF, DKIM, MX.Loops’ records for SPF are at envelope.sendingdomain.com, meaning they won’t
collide with any other SPF records you have set up. We specify a DMARC record
so that you have one, but you can also just have a single DMARC at the root
domain level.

Google Domains (and potentially other providers) combine the mail server and
priority inputs into a single line. So if you receive an error like this when
setting up the domain, make sure to instead type out the input like this: 
Google domains will also include quotes “ “ around some record names. This is
expected and will not impact anything.

Unfortunately, Wix DNS does not support subdomains for MX records when your nameservers are pointed at Wix.If you purchased a domain outside of Wix, you should use the “Pointing” method for your domain, which will let you set up DNS records externally a domain registrar. Then you can add records using this guide.
Make sure you enter the “Priority” while setting up your MX record. In most
registrars this is done by formatting it like “10 pastedrecordname”.
Occasionally you will be asked to place it on a separate line. Just make sure
to read the instructions on the page as you set up your MX record and if you
have any questions, just ping adam@loops.so
Step 4: Verify your records are set up correctly
After you have copied and pasted your records into your domain registrar, click Verify Records at the bottom of the page to check your configuration is correct.Sometimes records can take up to an hour to propagate across all the servers.
During that time you may see different records validate. This is totally
normal, just check back later.
