This guide helps you verify your domain on Vercel with Emailr. We also have an official integration for Vercel that helps you set up your API keys on Vercel projects so you can start sending emails with Emailr. View the integration here.

​
Add Domain to Emailr

First, log in to your Emailr Account and add a domain. Screenshot placeholder
It is best practice to use a subdomain (updates.example.com) instead of the root domain (example.com). This allows for proper reputation segmentation based on topics or purpose (e.g. transactional and marketing).

​
Log in to Vercel

Log in to your Vercel account and select the Domains tab. Screenshot placeholder

​
Add MX SPF Record

Copy and paste the values in Emailr to Vercel.
  1. Type send for the Name of the record in Vercel.
  2. Expand the Type dropdown and select MX.
  3. Copy the record value from Emailr into the Value field in Vercel.
  4. Add 10 for the Priority.
  5. Select Add.
Omit your domain from the record values in Emailr when you paste. Instead of send.example.com, paste only send (or send.subdomain if you’re using a subdomain).

Do not use the same priority for multiple records. If Priority 10 is already in use on another record, try a number slightly higher like 11 or 12.

​
Add TXT SPF Record

In the same section, add another record in Vercel.
  1. Type send for the Name of the record.
  2. Expand the Type dropdown and select TXT.
  3. Copy the TXT record value from Emailr into the Value field in Vercel.
  4. Use the default TTL of 60.
  5. Select Add.
Omit your domain from the record values in Emailr when you paste. Instead of send.example.com, paste only send (or send.subdomain if you’re using a subdomain).

  2. Expand the Type dropdown and select TXT.
  3. Copy the record value from Emailr into the Value field in Vercel.
Omit your domain from the record values in Emailr when you paste. Instead of emailr._domainkey.example.com, paste only emailr._domainkey (or emailr._domainkey.subdomain if you’re using a subdomain).

Review the records you added to Vercel to rule out copy and paste errors.
