How to add custom DNS for any domain in InboxKit?

InboxKit automatically configures all essential DNS records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX) for deliverability.
However, you may sometimes need to add custom DNS records manually — such as:

• A records

• CNAME records

• TXT verification records

• MX changes

• Custom service configurations (e.g., hosting, tracking, verification)

InboxKit allows full DNS control directly within the dashboard.

How to Add Custom DNS Records in InboxKit

Follow this simple step-by-step guide to add or edit DNS for any domain.

Step 1: Go to Domains → Click “More”

1. Open the Domains section in the left sidebar

2. Find the domain you want to edit

3. Click the More button ()

This opens the domain details panel.

Step 2: Open the DNS Tab

At the top of the domain modal, select:

DNS

This section displays all current DNS records InboxKit manages for the domain.

You will see record types such as:

• A

• MX

• TXT

• CNAME

• SPF

• DKIM

• DMARC

Step 3: Add a New DNS Record

1. Click + Add Record

2. A new row will appear where you can enter:

   • Type (A, CNAME, MX, TXT, etc.)

   • Name

   • Value

   • TTL

   • Priority (MX records only)

   • Proxy (if applicable)

Step 4: Save the Record

After entering your DNS details:

• Click the tick ✓ icon on the right side
  This saves and applies your DNS record to the domain.

If you made a mistake, click X to cancel the record.

Changes may take a few minutes to propagate globally.

Step 5: Edit or Delete Existing DNS Records

For any existing DNS record:

• Click the pencil icon to edit

• Click the red X to delete

This allows complete customization if you are configuring:

• Custom hosting

• Forwarding

• Domain verification

• Additional TXT records

• Third-party services

Important Notes

• InboxKit automatically maintains required SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and MX records.

• Removing these may affect deliverability.

• Always ensure new DNS additions do not conflict with existing authentication records.

• DNS edits may take 1–24 hours to fully propagate depending on the record type.
