Once you've set up your account, you can move on to the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorize your domain name<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In order to guarantee the deliverability of your e-mails, you must then authorize your domain name in Brevo<\/strong>. This domain must be the same as the one used in your From Email<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if your sender address is contact@example.com<\/code>the domain name to check in Brevo will be example.com<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting up a domain name in Brevo (Sendinblue)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To start the domain name verification process, first log on to your Brevo account<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once logged in, click on the company name<\/strong> at the top right of the screen, then select \"Senders, Domains & Dedicated IPs<\/strong> in the menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On the next page, select the \"Domains<\/strong>then click on the \"Add domains<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the window that appears, enter your domain name e-mail<\/strong>. Once you have done this, click on the \"Add a domain<\/strong> to continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n

Note: Depending on your domain name provider, Brevo may offer a automatic domain authentication<\/strong>. This method requires you to authorize Brevo to modify and add records to your domain's DNS configuration.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Then select the \"Authenticate the domain yourself<\/strong>then click on \" Continue \"<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Add DNS records<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To protect both site owners and visitors, it is necessary to authorize your domain by adding records to DNS settings<\/strong> domain. Over time, domain authentication has become an essential element in guaranteeing reliable e-mail deliverability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To continue, open a new tab or window<\/strong> on your browser. Then log in to the service from which you purchased your domain name (usually your web host), and access the DNS settings<\/strong> of your domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have opened the DNS settings, you should see an option allowing you to add a new record<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To enable Brevo to authorize your domain, you'll need to add two TXT records<\/strong> in your site's DNS. Be sure to copy them precisely, as the values must be strictly identical<\/strong> to those provided in your Brevo account for verification to work correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below, we'll explain how to add each DNS record. In the examples, we will use the domain example.com<\/code>. Remember to replace it with your own domain name when configuring your DNS records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
