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:
In this case, brandname.com is your domain — specifically, a second-level domain. It is the core identifier for recognizing the brand identity.
Important:
To verify your email domain in Influx, you'll need a third-level domain (also called a subdomain), like:
In this example, cc.brandname.com is the third-level domain you'll be verifying.
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:
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:
Access to your domain DNS settings — you’ll need to add some DNS records later.
A new third-level domain created just for Influx, like:
outreach.brandname.comA 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:
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.
Final Thoughts
Verifying your brand domain in Influx helps you stand out in every inbox, build trust with influencers, and drive stronger response rates. It’s a simple step with powerful results.
