Verifying Domains
Prior to sending email from Lead Gen & CRM, you must verify the sending domain. Verification provides security for domain owners by rejecting potential spoofed mail if the sender lacks access to the domain they are trying to send from. It is the first step towards maximizing deliverability.
To complete domain verification, log in to Lead Gen & CRM from a new tab in your web browser.
- Click Settings in the left toolbar.
- Click Company Email Settings, located under Features in the left panel.
- Click the DKIM and Sending Domains tab.
- Click Add Domain.
Click to enlarge.
- Enter the email address to be verified in the pop-up window that appears.
- Click Send Verification Email.
Click to enlarge.
In another browser tab, open the email client for the sending domain that was just entered and click the email asking to confirm the verification process. Within the email, click the Yes, Verify This Domain link.
Return to the Lead Gen & CRM browser tab and locate the domain you have just verified in the DKIM and Sending Domains section to confirm that there is a checkmark.

Optionally, after verifying the domain, you can navigate to your email settings page to configure DKIM for this domain. Your verified domain requires a valid DKIM signature for optimal inbox placement.
Be aware that Lead Gen & CRM will not send a verification email if the domain has site tracking already set up and running.
If you are tracking a site with Lead Gen & CRM's site tracking script, email domain verification will happen without having to send and click on an email.
