Nylas Manage Domains API

The Manage Domains endpoints let you register, verify, update, and delete email domains for use with [Transactional Send](/docs/v3/getting-started/transactional-send/) and [Nylas Agent Accounts](/docs/v3/agent-accounts/). Before you can use these endpoints, you need a [Nylas Service Account](/docs/v3/auth/nylas-service-account/) to authenticate your requests. Nylas Service Account authentication uses cryptographic request signing with four custom headers (`X-Nylas-Kid`, `X-Nylas-Timestamp`, `X-Nylas-Nonce`, `X-Nylas-Signature`). ## Domain verification After you register a domain, you must verify DNS records before you can use it. Call the **Get domain info** endpoint to retrieve the DNS records you need to configure, then call the **Verify domain** endpoint after you've added them to your DNS provider. The verification types are: | Type | Required for | Description | | ----------- | ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- | | `ownership` | All domains | Proves you control the domain. | | `dkim` | Transactional Send, Agent Accounts | Authenticates outgoing mail. | | `spf` | Transactional Send, Agent Accounts | Authorizes Nylas to send on your behalf. | | `feedback` | Transactional Send, Agent Accounts | Enables bounce reporting. | | `mx` | Agent Accounts | Routes incoming mail to Nylas. | Nylas tracks `dmarc` and `arc` records but does not currently enforce or verify them. Setting up DMARC is highly recommended to prevent emails going to spam. For more information, see [Managing domains](/docs/v3/email/domains/).
