Troubleshoot domain verification

The quick answer

Use the exact record values shown in Elite, remove conflicting records, allow propagation, and verify again. Sending-domain authentication, tracking-domain verification, and team-domain ownership are different checks.

Verify a branded tracking domain

  1. Choose a subdomain

    On an eligible plan, open Settings → Tracking and add a hostname such as links.example.com.

  2. Publish the displayed records

    Copy the exact CNAME target and verification TXT record from Elite into your DNS provider. Remove conflicting records at that hostname.

  3. Verify the route

    Allow DNS propagation, then choose Verify. Active means the required DNS, encrypted route, and domain checks passed.

  4. Monitor the hostname

    Review reputation warnings before using the domain. Removing the Elite configuration does not remove the DNS records at your provider.
