Use Settings → Transactional domains to send receipts, password resets, and other app email from @yourdomain.com. This is separate from marketing campaigns.
Setup
- Add your root domain (
acme.com) - Publish the DNS records we show (SPF, return-path CNAME, ownership TXT, DKIM)
- Turn off Cloudflare proxy (orange cloud) on the CNAME
- Click Check DNS
- Send with
POST /api/emailusing a From address on that domain, for examplenoreply@acme.com
Create an API token under Account → API Tokens.
Record types
| Record | Purpose |
|---|---|
| SPF TXT | Authorizes Mailivate to send |
| Return-Path CNAME | Bounce handling (psrp → Mailivate return-path host) |
| Ownership TXT | Proves you control the domain |
| DKIM TXT | Signing for inbox placement (shown after Mailivate issues it) |
| DMARC TXT | Recommended policy (p=none to start) |
DNS can take a few minutes. If DKIM still says pending, wait and refresh — Mailivate issues it automatically after the domain is added.
