This document will explain how to verify email DNS records in ClickFunnels. These DNS records are required for the ClickFunnels platform to send emails using your custom domain. The required records are generated for you when adding a new domain to a workspace. If any record was not set up or verified during the initial domain setup process, you can use these instructions to set up and verify them again.
