How to Configure Your Email Sender & DNS Records

Get The Referral (GTR) allows your company to send transactional and marketing emails using your own domain (e.g., info@yourcompany.com) for improved branding and deliverability.

Admins can go to Settings > Sender Configuration to choose how emails are sent.

You can select one of the two sending methods:

1. Standard (DNS-Verified)
   • GTR sends emails on your behalf
   • Your domain is authenticated through DNS (SPF + DKIM)
2. Custom SMTP
   • You provide your own SMTP server settings
   • Used by clients with strict IT/security requirements

Only one option can be active at a time. This will guide you through completing the setup for the selected method.

Until your domain is verified, all emails will be sent from: donotreply@getthereferral.com
