Verify your email domain with SPF and DKIM

Previously, you could use your own email address to send notification or invitation emails. To do this, you needed to verify the ownership of that email address.

Today, we are excited to announce a new feature that allows you to verify your custom domain using SPF and DKIM DNS records. By implementing SPF and DKIM, the sending email can be authenticated by the email server, ensuring successful email delivery and enabling your users to receive emails effectively.
