Domain Authentication
An authenticated domain allows you to remove the “via” or “sent on behalf of” message that your recipients see when they read your emails. Authenticating a domain allows you to replace sendgrid.net with your personal sending domain. You will be required to create a subdomain so that SendGrid can generate the DNS records which you must give to your host provider. If you choose to use Automated Security, SendGrid will provide you with 3 CNAME records. If you turn Automated Security off, you will get 2 TXT records and 1 MX record.
Domain Authentication was formerly called "Domain Whitelabel".
For more information, please see How to set up domain authentication.
Each user may have a maximum of 3,000 authenticated domains and 3,000 link brandings. This limit is at the user level, meaning each Subuser belonging to a parent account may have its own 3,000 authenticated domains and 3,000 link brandings.
Validate a domain authentication.
POST /v3/whitelabel/domains/{id}/validate
Base url: https://api.sendgrid.com
This endpoint allows you to validate an authenticated domain. If it fails, it will return an error message describing why the domain could not be validated.
Authentication
- API Key
Headers
The on-behalf-of header allows you to make API calls from a parent account on behalf of the parent's Subusers or customer accounts. You will use the parent account's API key when using this header. When making a call on behalf of a customer account, the property value should be "account-id" followed by the customer account's ID (e.g., on-behalf-of: account-id <account-id>). When making a call on behalf of a Subuser, the property value should be the Subuser's username (e.g., on-behalf-of: <subuser-username>). See On Behalf Of for more information.
