DNS text record

What is a DNS text record?

A DNS text record, also known as a TXT record, is a type of Domain Name System (DNS) record that contains text information about a domain. It is used to provide additional information about a domain name, such as the domain owner’s contact information, security policies, or other relevant data. DNS text records are commonly used for email authentication, such as Sender Policy Framework (SPF) and DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM), which help prevent email spoofing and phishing attacks.

How does DNS text record work in Loom?

In Loom, DNS text records are used to verify domain ownership and enable custom branding for email notifications. When you add a custom domain to your Loom account, you need to create a DNS text record in your domain’s DNS settings. This record contains a unique verification code that Loom uses to confirm that you own the domain. Once the domain ownership is verified, you can customize the email notifications sent from Loom with your own branding, such as your company logo and colors.

Best practices for managing DNS text records in Loom

Managing DNS text records in Loom requires some technical knowledge and attention to detail. Here are some best practices to follow:

• Make sure you have access to your domain’s DNS settings before adding a custom domain to Loom.
• Double-check the syntax and content of your DNS text record before saving it. A small mistake can cause the verification process to fail.
• Regularly review and update your DNS text records to ensure they are accurate and up-to-date.
• Use a reputable DNS provider and enable DNSSEC (DNS Security Extensions) to protect your domain from DNS spoofing and other attacks.
