In late 2023, Google and Yahoo announced new sender requirements to improve email deliverability and security. These went into effect in February 2024 and are now actively enforced across all major inbox providers.
These changes apply to all bulk email senders, regardless of the platform they use — including Springbot.
Who Is Affected?
You must comply with these requirements if you send more than 5,000 emails per day.
Why This Matters
Verifying your domain:
Improves deliverability
Reduces spam flagging
Builds trust with inbox providers
Ensures you meet Google/Yahoo’s compliance policies
Taking the time to verify now will make your emails more likely to reach inboxes — not spam folders.
Step-by-Step: How to Verify Your Domain in Springbot
1. Make Sure You’re Using a Custom Domain Email
You must use a branded, non-Gmail email address like marketing@yourdomain.com.

➡️ Guide: Creating a custom domain email
(Or check your website/domain hosting provider like GoDaddy, Squarespace, etc.)
2. Start the Domain Verification Process
Log into your Springbot dashboard.
Click the profile icon in the top-right corner and go to Settings.
In the left menu, select Domain Verification.
If you don’t see your domain listed:
Click "Add Sender Email" and enter your custom domain email address (e.g.,
hello@yourstore.com)
Click Verify next to your domain.
3. Copy DNS Records into Your Domain Host
Springbot will now show you 4 DNS records to add to your domain host:
1 MX Record
3 TXT Records
4. Add the DNS Records in Your Domain Host (GoDaddy, etc.)
Log into your domain provider (like GoDaddy or Namecheap)
Navigate to the DNS settings for your domain
Paste the 4 records from Springbot into the appropriate fields
Copy each record exactly — including punctuation, spacing, and case.
If you're unsure how to add DNS records:
Click "Learn about updating DNS records" in Springbot
Select your domain provider (e.g., GoDaddy, Bluehost, Google Domains)
Follow the step-by-step guide linked there
Save your changes
Wait a few minutes, then refresh your domain provider page to confirm they were saved
5. Go Back to Springbot & Click “Verify Records”
Return to the Domain Verification page in Springbot
Click Verify Records
Springbot will check that all 4 records were added correctly
6. If You See Errors…
Springbot will highlight which record(s) failed
Double-check:
Spacing, punctuation, and host formatting
Whether your DNS provider added duplicate entries
That all records are saved and visible in your domain host

We’re happy to walk you through it.
Known Updates (as of mid-2025)
Springbot now warns you in-app if your sender domain is unverified or missing required records
Record validation delay: While most DNS updates go live in 15–30 minutes, full verification can take up to 24 hours
We recommend setting a calendar reminder to recheck verification if your first attempt fails — DNS propagation is not always instant
