# How to Verify Brand Email Domain？ Want your outreach emails to stand out in a crowded inbox? Verifying your **brand email domain** with Datech Influx helps you send emails that not only look professional but also reflect your brand identity. This step-by-step guide will walk you through everything you need to know — from what a domain is to how to get verified and start sending emails from your brand domain. *** ## 1. What Is an Email Domain? Say your email address is: 
aaa@brandname.com
In this case, `brandname.com` is your **domain** — specifically, a **second-level domain**. It is the core identifier for recognizing the brand identity. {% hint style="warning" %} #### Important: To verify your email domain in Influx, you'll need a **third-level domain** (also called a subdomain), like: ``` aaa@cc.brandname.com ``` In this example, `cc.brandname.com` is the third-level domain you'll be verifying. {% endhint %} *** ## 2. Why You *Can’t* Verify a Second-Level Domain? If you try to verify a second-level domain (like `brandname.com`) with Influx, it will override your current email service for that domain — which could break all your existing email accounts. That’s why it’s crucial to use a **new third-level domain** (like `cc.brandname.com`) **dedicated to Influx**. This keeps your regular brand email system running smoothly, while giving Influx its own branded sender domain for influencer outreach. For example: ``` influencer@outreach.brandname.com ``` This way, only Influx handles emails sent through that subdomain. *** ## 3. Why Should You Verify Your Brand Email Domain? Here’s what you get when you verify your brand domain: * ✅ **Boosted trust** – Emails come from an address that looks clearly branded and official. * ✅ **Higher open rates** – Influencers are more likely to open emails from recognizable brand domains. * ✅ **Better visibility** – Branded emails stand out in crowded inboxes. * ✅ **Cleaner identity** – Your outreach comes from your company’s domain, not a shared system address. Without verification, your emails will come from a generic system email, which can seem untrustworthy—or worse, get ignored. *** ## 4. What You Need to Prepare Before Verifying? Before you start the verification process, make sure you have: 1. Access to your **domain DNS settings** — you’ll need to add some DNS records later. 2. A **new third-level domain** created just for Influx, like: `outreach.brandname.com` 3. A dedicated email address using that subdomain, like: `influencer@outreach.brandname.com` Ask your IT or email admin to set this up for you before you proceed. *** ## 5. Who Can Apply for Domain Verification? Only the **main admin account (aka “parent account”)** on Influx has permission to request a domain verification.If you're part of a team and don’t see the option, ask your company’s main Influx admin to apply. *** ## 6. How to Verify Your Domain? Ready to verify? Follow these steps: {% stepper %} {% step %} ### Log in to Influx Click your avatar in the top-right corner, then select **Verify Email Domain**.
{% endstep %} {% step %} ### Submit Your Third-Level Domain Enter the subdomain you want to verify — something like: `outreach.brandname.com` Then click **Next**.
{% endstep %} {% step %} ### View DNS Settings After submitting, click **View Authorization**. Influx will show you the DNS records you need to add.These include: * Name * Type * CNAME Record * Main Domain * Value
{% endstep %} {% step %} ### Add the DNS Records Go to your DNS hosting provider (like GoDaddy, Cloudflare, or Alibaba Cloud) and add the records exactly as shown. {% hint style="info" %} **Note:** DNS changes might take anywhere from 10 minutes to 24 hours to take effect. {% endhint %} {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Click "Verify" Once your DNS records are live, go back to Influx and click **Verify**. If everything is set up correctly, your domain will be verified!
{% endstep %} {% step %} ### Start Sending Branded Emails That’s it! You’re now ready to send emails from your verified brand domain, like: `influencer@outreach.brandname.com`
Your outreach just got a whole lot more professional — and recognizable. {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} {% hint style="warning" %} **Don’t delete those DNS records** after verification. Removing them will un-verify your domain, and you won’t be able to send emails from it anymore. {% endhint %} *** ## Final Thoughts Verifying your brand domain in Influx helps you stand out in every inbox, build trust with influencers, and drive stronger response rates.
