Within the settings of the Chainlink Marketing Platform, you have the ability to create unique Domains and Sending Domains. There are some key differences between Domains and Sending Domains…
Domains:
Domains are used for your inbound marketing programs: Landing Pages and Forms. In the Domains section within your Settings, you can easily view, edit, and create new Domains, or Vanity Domains, used for marketing programs. A Vanity Domain is an unique Web Domain that is branded for marketing purposes. Essentially, a Vanity Domain is a custom Domain that is used to promote a specific product/service. For example, if your primary Domain is www.yourcompany.com, your vanity domain for a product called ABC could be www.abc.com.
Sending Domains:
Sending Domains are the email sending domains that give you the ability to customize your emails on behalf of yourdomain.com instead of having the standard Chainlink domain attached. The ability to add a custom sending domain for emails helps to reduce confusion for the end recipient who should focus on the company sending email, not the client they are sending it through. Unlike regular Domains, you must verify every Sending Domain you create in the platform before you will be able to send any emails using that Sending Domain. This verification step is necessary to ensure that you are using a valid email address hosted by a domain that is accessible. This will help keep your email programs out of spam folders and ensure other can’t use your domain without permission.
Once you have created your unique sending domain, the next step is to verify your newly created sending domain. There are two ways to verify a sending domain: HTML & Meta Tag. Navigate to Settings > Domain Settings > Domain Verification. Once on this page, you can either create a new sending domain, or verify an existing domain. Click on the name of the domain you want to verify, select the verification type, and then click on the Verification tab and follow the instructions.
