# How to add custom DNS for any domain in InboxKit?

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.
    

* * *

## 🎉 **You’re All Set!**

You now know how to:  
✔ Access DNS settings  
✔ Add any custom DNS record  
✔ Edit or delete DNS entries  
✔ Maintain full control of domain configuration

This feature allows complete flexibility while InboxKit continues to manage all critical deliverability-related DNS automatically.
