A Guide to Sending and Tracking Domains

Domains play an important role in how your emails are sent, tracked, and trusted by recipients. In MailerLogic, domain management is available under Domains and includes two types:

• Sending Domains – used to send emails from your own domain

• Tracking Domains – used to track email opens and link clicks using your domain

Configuring both ensures better deliverability, branding, and accurate engagement tracking.

Sending Domain

A sending domain confirms that you’re authorized to send emails from a specific domain. This is essential for good deliverability and brand trust.

You can add and verify your domain using either the MailerLogic dashboard or the API.

Add Your Domain (API – Optional)

Use the following API call to register your domain:

curl -X POST https://api.mailerlogic.net/api/v1/customer/domains \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"domain": "mail.yourdomain.com"}'

Add DNS Records

MailerLogic provides DNS records such as SPF and DKIM. Add these records to your DNS provider (for example, Cloudflare, GoDaddy, or Google Domains).

To retrieve DNS records via API:

curl https://api.mailerlogic.net/api/v1/customer/domains/{DOMAIN_ID}/dns \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Verify Your Domain

Once the DNS records are added, verify your domain.

From the dashboard, click Verify, or via API:

curl -X POST https://api.mailerlogic.net/api/v1/customer/domains/{DOMAIN_ID}/verify \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Step 1: Add Domain

Open 'Sending Domains' under 'Domains' and click the 'Add Domain' button.

Step 2: Add Domain

Enter the 'Domain Name' and click the button 'Add Domain'.

Step 3: View DNS Records

Click the 'View' icon to see your DNS records.

Step 4: Copy DNS Records

Copy the DNS records and add them to your hosting platform.

Step 5: Verify your Domain

Click the 'Verify' button to verify your domain, and you'll see the status 'Verified'.

Tracking Domains

A Tracking Domain is used to track user activity in your emails, such as:

• Email opens (via tracking pixels)

• Link clicks (via tracked URLs)

Instead of using MailerLogic’s default tracking URLs, you can use your own branded domain.

Example:
track.yourdomain.com instead of track.mailerlogic.io

This improves trust with recipients and mailbox providers.

Step 1: Access Tracking Domains

Log in to your MailerLogic account, navigate to Domains, and select Tracking Domains. Then, click '+Add Tracking Domain'. 

Step 2: Add a New Tracking Domain

Select the associated 'Sending Domain' from the dropdown, then review the 'Tracking Domain Prefix' (default is usually track). You can modify this if required. Finally, click 'Add Domain'.

Step 3: Verify the Tracking Domain

Return to the tracking domains page, click the 'Verify DNS' button.

Step 4: Track Email Activity

After verification:

• All email opens are tracked using your domain

• All click tracking links use your branded tracking domain

• Engagement data appears normally in MailerLogic reports

Using Tracking Domains alongside Sending Domains helps ensure your emails are fully branded, trusted, and accurately tracked. This setup enhances deliverability, fosters recipient confidence, and provides you with reliable insights into email engagement, all of which are essential for effective email communication with MailerLogic.
