Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have:- A SendKit account with a domain added
- Access to your GoDaddy account
- Your domain’s DNS records from the SendKit domain detail page
Add DNS records
Log in to GoDaddy, go to My Products > Domains, click your domain, then go to DNS > DNS Records. Click Add New Record for each of the following.1. DKIM record
| GoDaddy field | SendKit value |
|---|---|
| Type | TXT |
| Name | sendkit._domainkey |
| Value | Your DKIM value from SendKit |
| TTL | Default |
2. SPF record
| GoDaddy field | SendKit value |
|---|---|
| Type | TXT |
| Name | send |
| Value | Your SPF value from SendKit |
| TTL | Default |
3. MX record
| GoDaddy field | SendKit value |
|---|---|
| Type | MX |
| Name | send |
| Value | Your MX value from SendKit |
| Priority | 10 |
| TTL | Default |
4. DMARC record (optional)
Verify your domain
Go back to your SendKit domain detail page and click Refresh. GoDaddy DNS changes can take up to 30 minutes to propagate.If verification doesn’t succeed immediately, wait a few minutes and try again. SendKit also checks automatically in the background.
Troubleshooting
TXT record value is truncated
TXT record value is truncated
GoDaddy may truncate long TXT values in the display, but the full value is stored. Copy the value directly from SendKit and paste it — the record will work correctly.
Cannot find DNS management
Cannot find DNS management
If your domain uses external nameservers, GoDaddy won’t manage DNS for it. Check your nameserver settings under DNS > Nameservers.
Already have an MX record on the send subdomain
Already have an MX record on the send subdomain
You should only have one MX record on
send.yourdomain.com. If there’s a conflicting record, remove it before adding the SendKit MX record.
