Runs a fresh DNS check across the domain's records (DKIM, return path, DMARC, tracking, inbound MX, and any staged changes) and returns the updated domain. Use it for an immediate result after publishing or correcting records. Get a sending domain only reports the last stored result. Published records are also re-checked for you automatically in the background.

A 200 with records still pending is not a failure: the records were not found yet, which is normal while DNS propagates (minutes to hours). Recently verified records are not re-queried, so the call is safe to repeat while you wait.

Parameter

domain_idstring

ID of the domain to verify.

Antwort-Payload

id
string
erforderlich
workspace_id
string
erforderlich
domain
string
erforderlich

The sending domain name. Set at creation and immutable.

vendor
string
erforderlich

The DNS provider hosting this domain's nameservers, so you know which provider's dashboard to manage the required DNS records in. Returns other when the provider has not been detected or is not recognized.

Possible values: other, cloudflare, route53, godaddy, namecheap, google, azure, digitalocean, squarespace

status
string
erforderlich

Domain ownership verification, proven by the DKIM record. Readiness to send or track is reported separately per capability under capabilities.*.status.

  • pending: the DKIM record has not been published yet.
  • verified: the DKIM record is in place; ownership is confirmed.
  • failed: a DKIM record exists but does not match the expected value (for example a stale record from an earlier setup), or a previously verified record was removed. Correct the record to recover.
  • temporary_failure: DNS resolution failed transiently, such as from a timeout or unreachable nameserver. Verification retries automatically; do not change the DNS records unless they are incorrect.
  • rejected: the domain was refused for policy reasons and cannot be used for sending. Contact support if you believe this is an error.

Possible values: pending, verified, failed, temporary_failure, rejected

settings

Per-domain behavior toggles. Changes apply immediately to new sends.

Untergeordnete Attribute anzeigen
next
array of object

What to do next about this domain, given the state it is in. Each entry names one action and says why it is worth taking, so you can act on this response without working out the order yourself. Present on reads that compute it: an empty list means there is nothing to do, and the field is absent entirely on responses that do not report next actions.

This answers whether you own the domain, which is what status reports. What each capability still needs before it can send or receive is reported separately under capabilities, so an empty list here does not on its own mean the domain is ready.

Active DKIM signing configuration for the domain.

Untergeordnete Attribute anzeigen
dns_records
array of object
erforderlich

The domain's DNS records and their individual verification state, returned in full on both the list and single-domain responses. This is the complete set to publish across DKIM, return-path, DMARC, tracking, and inbound; records for a staged change carry state: pending. Inbound MX records are always included as a regional reference, even while receiving is off and capabilities.inbound.status is not_configured. Their presence alone does not mean receiving is enabled; see DomainUpdate.inbound.

Untergeordnete Attribute anzeigen
last_checked_at
nullable string

When we last checked this domain's DNS records, whether or not the outcome changed. Updated on every verification: your manual refresh and the periodic automatic re-checks alike. null if the domain has never been checked.

verified_at
nullable string

When the domain's ownership was confirmed: the moment status became verified via the DKIM record. Unchanged by later re-checks while it stays verified. null if the domain has never been verified.

created_at
string
erforderlich

When the domain was added.

updated_at
string
erforderlich

When the domain's configuration was last changed (such as a settings or return-path change). Verification re-checks do not change this; see last_checked_at and verified_at for verification timing.
