Thank you for your reply! And for the other URL.
Once ran, the results were it couldn’t find a SPF record with my domain. I was told that it’s best practice to ensure and SPF recrod is in your settings and I didn’t see it in the branded set up I went thru w/Klaviyo. I reached out to Kaviyo support then tech team and they said all was good (see screenshot), but it’s not in my GoDaddy account. What info would I add to my DNS settings w/GoDaddy?
Sorry, the prompted requests that Klaviyo had made things easy for copy and paste… Can you help me with that?

Thx,
Rae

Hi Rae, I just looked up your domain and I can see that your DMARC policy is propogated and Valid:

 

That’s all that matters for that requirement. I can also see that your branded sending domain is Active from your domain settings. You should contact support for more questions, but I can tell you now you should be all set! 👍

 

Way to be compliant.

Hi there! I just wanted to clarify, do we need to set up SPF or DKIM for our sub domain i.e send.domain.com address if we have verified our branded sending domain in Klaviyo? Or is this handled by Klaviyo?

 

Further to the above, have just tested since configuring our send domain and noticed the below in the header when opening an email in gmail. Is is it correct to have k3 in front of the sending domain? This brand is using dynamic routing.

Hey @alisonoc! Super sorry this fell through the cracks. I can confirm since you are using a branded sending domain, your SPF and DKIM records were automatically added through the CNAME or NS records added during setup. 

 

And yes, the k3 second level domain is correct! This is added by Klaviyo when you send mail.
