How it works: You will simply copy a few lines of text provided in your ScaleFlows dashboard and paste \
them into the settings of your domain provider (such as GoDaddy, Namecheap, or Cloudflare).

You need to add three specific records to your domain provider (such as GoDaddy, Cloudflare, or Namecheap). This setup authorizes ScaleFlows to securely send and route emails on your behalf. While the exact dashboard looks different for every provider, the general steps are always the same.

**Step 1**: Log in to your domain registrar (where you purchased your domain name)

**Step 2:** Locate your DNS settings&#x20;

**Step 3:** Add the new records

In your ScaleFlows dashboard, **use the copy buttons** to accurately transfer the details for each required record into your domain's DNS settings:

* **DKIM Record:** Create a new TXT record. Paste the provided *Host / Name* and *Value*.
* **Return-Path Record:** Create a new CNAME record. Paste the provided *Host / Name* and the *Points To* value.
* D**MARC Record (Recommended):** Create another TXT record. Paste the provided *Host / Name* and *Value*.

**Step 4:** Save the new records in your domain provider's dashboard.

**Step 5:** Return to ScaleFlows, click the "I've added the records — verify" button to finalize your inbox connection.

Note: DNS changes usually update within a few minutes, but depending on your provider, it can occasionally take up to 48 hours to fully connect.&#x20;
