5. Click Verify after adding the records

DNS propagation can take up to 48 hours.

Troubleshooting

Emails not sending:

• Verify the API key is correct in your environment
• Check server logs for API errors
• Confirm the sender domain is verified

Emails going to spam:

• Configure a custom domain instead of using Resend's default
• Ensure SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records are properly set
• Avoid spam trigger words in email content
