Have custom domain, but sending emails through Gmail

[JMysza]

Hi all, my marketing website has it's own custom URL however I will be sending my emails through Gmail. I am trying to figure out the process of setting up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC but all of the info I am finding is referring to custom domains and not Gmail.

Can someone point me in the right direction on how to do this?

Thanks, Justin.

Hi @JMysza,

Are you referring to bulk marketing emails or individually sent emails? The latter can be set up like this: https://knowledge.hubspot.com/connected-email/connect-your-inbox-to-hubspot

For the former, as far as I know this is not possible. I don't think you can authenticate gmail.com as a sending domain as you do not have access to the gmail.com DNS settings - only Google does.

Best regards!

Hi @JMysza - To send emails using your domain name, you need to connect your email sending domain to HubSpot. This feature is available on all plans except the free tier.  Please check this guide to setup SPF and DKIM records for your domain.

Thanks.
