Adding your domain to the dashboard is the first step in monitoring and analyzing your email authentication setup. By connecting your domain, you can track DMARC reports, identify potential issues, and improve email deliverability. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process to ensure a smooth setup.
During the process of creating your account, you will reach a page where the platform will ask you to add your domain, as shown in the screenshot below. Make sure to add your domain(s).
Now, the platform will provide you with two options to add a DMARC record with our RUA and RUF tags. This is a very important step required for us to start receiving and monitoring DMARC reports.
Option 1: Adding a DMARC record using our Managed DMARC. This is a DMARC record with a CNAME type, meaning that once you choose this option, which is strongly recommended, you will be able to manage your DMARC record directly from EasyDMARC rather than the DNS zone. It is a one-time change, and after that, all DMARC management will be done from EasyDMARC.
In case you choose this option, follow the steps below to add the record to your DNS.
Important note: If you have an existing DMARC record, make sure to remove it before adding the new one provided by EasyDMARC.
I'm using Cloudflare as an example.
As shown in the screenshot below, this is how the record should look in the DNS zone. If your DNS zone is also with Cloudflare, like mine, make sure to toggle off the proxy.
After adding the record, click the verify button.
Please note that DNS propagation may take some time.
Once the record has propagated, you will see the successes in green as shown in the screenshot below.
Option 2: Manage from DNS Host. This is mainly known as a manual record since it is a TXT record. If you choose this option, any future DMARC record changes can only be made manually from the DNS zone.
In case you choose this option, follow the steps below to add the record to your DNS.
Important note: If you have an existing DMARC record, make sure to remove it before adding the new one provided by EasyDMARC.

You will now be redirected to the platform, as shown in the screenshot below, once your domain is verified.
Note: In case you already have an existing account, please follow the steps provided below.
Log in to your account and navigate to Settings > Domain Management:
Once on the page, click on the "Plus" button and fill in the details of your domain. You can specify the Group it should be listed under and the type (Sending or Parked).
There is an option to upload a file with domain names if you require a bulk action.
DMARC aggregate reports are received within up to 72 hours after your domain is newly added to EasyDMARC and verified. For further understanding of how to analyze DMARC reports, please follow the articles below.
