Drop Highlight Domain Setup

Connect your domain

This guide is for: stowawayfestival.co.uk
If you want to send fan emails to your audience through the platform, your domain needs a one-time setup so those emails come from you, look like you and land reliably. This is a quick job for whoever manages your DNS.
If you would like to send emails to your audience through the platform, so they come from you, look like you and land reliably, your domain needs to be configured first. That is done by adding the small records below to your DNS. This does not touch your website or your existing email, it only enables sending. It is a one-time setup on your side, and once the records are in place the domain can be verified and you are ready to send.
1Who does this
Whoever manages your domain or DNS: your web person, IT, or whoever has access to your domain registrar or DNS host. It takes a few minutes.
2Your sending domain
The records below are added to the domain your fan emails will send from (stowawayfestival.co.uk). The Name values are entered relative to that domain. Some providers automatically add your domain to the end (so "send" becomes "send.stowawayfestival.co.uk") which is normal and correct.

The MX record uses priority 10. The _dmarc record is recommended and applies to the whole domain, so if one already exists, do not overwrite it.
Step-by-step instructions
1
Open your domain provider's DNS panel
Log in to the registrar or host where stowawayfestival.co.uk is managed (Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.) and go to the DNS management section.
2
Add the two TXT records and the CNAME on the root domain
DKIM (resend._domainkey), SPF (send), and the branded-links CNAME (links). These prove you own the domain and protect deliverability.
3
Add the MX record on the "send" subdomain
Priority 10. This receives bounce-backs so deliverability metrics stay accurate.
4
Save, then wait and verify
DNS propagation can take up to 72 hours, though it is usually much quicker. After adding all records, click "Verify DNS" in the dashboard.
