The successful delivery of your emails can mean the difference between a successful sale and a failure.
That's why it's important to make sure your domains are properly configured and up to date with all the latest email authentication protocols.

Email Domain Checker is a useful tool that allows you to check the health of your email domains that are used to send emails from CRM, and quickly identify the domains that fail the standard authentication tests so you can take action.

Domain checks are performed automatically in the CRM by looking up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records for all email addresses that have been used to send emails from CRM in the past.

This includes emails from users, groups, status trigger emails, and emails configured in CRM's site settings.

Once the checks are complete, a report is generated showing the test results in the three check categories. If a domain fails a check, you can fix the problem by updating your SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records, and then running a new check to make sure the problem has been fixed.

Your CRM also provides comprehensive email metrics and deliverability information to help you understand and keep track of your sales email performance.
