An SPF record can save your domain from spam and phishing by allowing you to keep a record of your authorized sources. Zoho Creator highly recommends their customers set up SPF for their respective domains. Here’s how you do it: 

Creating SPF record for Zoho Creator

Verifying a domain in Zoho Creator:

Your domain is directly verified at the time of sender email verification. Once the sender email is verified, the domain's Verification status is marked as Completed in the Domain Authentication tab.

Note: Domains belonging to unverified emails will NOT get listed here. You will have to complete the sender email verification process to verify the domain.

Authenticating a verified domain in Zoho Creator:

1. Click Validate in the domain details card.

2. A Domain Authentication popup will app

3. Copy the SPF record and you need to paste it into your domain provider's site's DNS settings. 

SPF record:  v=spf1 include:usermail.zohocreator.com -all

4. Click Validate after pasting the SPF and DKIM records in your domain provider's site. The DNS changes will be immediately updated and the Domain's Authentication status will change to Completed.

Note: Wait for 72 hours to allow your DNS to process the changes
