In February 2024, Gmail began requiring bulk senders, those who send more than 5,000 messages to Gmail addresses in one day, to enhance email security to reduce spam. The main requirement is that emails sent to a Gmail address must have some form of authentication.

To accommodate this, we made several changes to our marketing suite email verification.

As a host, what's required of you is to verify your email domain through your dashboard.

You'll need to:

Navigate to Settings while logged into your Momence as an admin > click on Marketing suite settings > scroll to “Domain verification for emailing” and follow the steps below.

PS. we've run through some of the most common website builders like Godaddy, Cloudflare, Squarespace and have put together specialized tutorials for each.

Add your domain. E.g. “momence.com” and click Save domain

Add DNS records to your domain. Find your respective DNS provider's documentation in the list provided. This will guide you on how to add the DNS records.

Copy the DNS records from your Momence Dashboard, and follow the documentation to complete this step. Once this is done, we will verify these records and the status check will turn green as shown before. Bear in mind this verification may take up to 72 hours.
