What email domain setup does

Email domain setup lets you send emails from your own domain (instead of a generic sender). This is important for:
  • Brand trust (customers recognize your domain)
  • Better deliverability (fewer spam issues)
  • Consistent “From” name and address

Before you start

  • Make sure Domain Email Service is enabled for your account.
  • Make sure you (or your customer) can edit DNS records for the domain.
  • Decide what you want your sender to look like:
    • From name (example: Knotie Support)
    • From email (example: support@yourdomain.com)

Set up your email domain

  1. In the Partner Portal, open Settings.
  2. Go to Email Domain Management.
  3. In Setup Your Domain:
    • Enter Domain Name (example: yourdomain.com).
    • Enter From Email (example: support@yourdomain.com).
    • Enter From Name (example: Knotie Support).
  4. Click Setup Domain.
Knotie AI Pro will show the DNS records you need to add.

Add DNS records (the “copy/paste” part)

  1. Open the DNS provider for the domain (Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.).
  2. Add each DNS record exactly as shown in Knotie AI.
  3. Save the changes.
Tip: If your DNS provider asks for “Host/Name”, it might be @ for the root domain.

Verify your domain

  1. Back in Email Domain Management, click Verify Domain.
  2. If the status shows pending, wait a bit and try again.
  3. Once verified, you’ll see a verified status in the header.

Send a test email

After your domain is verified:
  1. Click Send Test Email.
  2. Check your inbox and confirm the sender shows your domain.

Troubleshooting

  • Domain verification stays pending
    • DNS changes can take time to propagate.
    • Re-check that you copied values exactly (extra spaces can break verification).
  • You see “Domain Email Service Not Enabled”
    • Go to Settings and enable Domain Email Service first.
  • Test email fails
    • Verification must be completed before test emails can be sent.
