How To Set Up DKIM Record In GoDaddy

• On the top right corner, you will find an option called ‘Username.’
• When you click on this tab, another option called ‘Manage Domains’ will appear.
• You will find the ‘My Domains’ Dashboard, where you need to click on the ‘More’ icon. You will find this option just beside your domain.
• From the drop-down menu that appears, click on ‘Manage DNS.’
• Now insert ‘TXT’ as the field value.
• Provide the public key under the ‘Host’ section.
• Under the ‘TXT Value’ option, type the DKIM key.
• Under ‘TTL, choose the duration for which the server would cache the information.

Please note that the key should not contain any double quotes or white spaces. Copy-paste the key and click on ‘Save.’

Once you add the DKIM record, you need to check out whether the keys have been accurately updated. If you have already set up the SPF configuration for your email services, you can follow the same steps for updating the GoDaddy DKIM records.
