Verify your domain

Go back to your SendKit domain detail page and click Refresh. Netlify DNS changes typically propagate within a few minutes.
If verification doesn’t succeed immediately, wait a few minutes and try again. SendKit also checks automatically in the background.

Troubleshooting

Netlify DNS only works if your domain’s nameservers point to Netlify. Check Domains > your domain > Name servers to verify. If you use Netlify for hosting but another provider for DNS, add the records there instead.
Make sure you have Owner or Admin access to the Netlify team that manages the domain. Collaborators may not have permission to modify DNS records.
