Copy and add DNS records to your domain provider
When you add your domain, we provide you with a list of DNS records that you need to add to your domain provider. Learn more about DNS records required for configuring DMARC
Once you add DNS records to your domain provider, due to the nature of how DNS works, it may take some time for the changes you make in your provider to become visible to our systems.
After you add the DNS records, we match the records to verify that all the records are still present and formatted correctly. Then our system checks whether the DNS records in your domain provider match those that we provide. This is called a DNS records check.
When you add a domain to admin.atlassian.com, we run a DNS records check every 24 hours to determine whether records match. If one or more DNS records don’t match during a check, we send an email to all organization admins letting you know. You will stop receiving these emails when all records match.
Copy and add DNS records
If you close the DNS records modal the first time we display your records, you can always come back at a later time to copy them. To copy and add DNS records:
Go to admin.atlassian.com. Select your organization if you have more than one.
Select Settings > Emails.
Select the Email domains tab.
Select See DNS records for the domain you want to manage. You’ll see 5 or 6 DNS records.
Open your domain provider, and find the screen where you can add DNS custom records. These records are added to the same domain that you’ve added in admin.atlassian.com.
Create custom records in your domain provider by copying and adding the name and value for each DNS record. Refer to the table below for more details about how to add them.
Save these records in your domain provider.
Return to the Email domains tab, and select See DNS records.
Select Run DNS records check or Close.
Run DNS records check initiates the check immediately. It may take a few seconds for this check to complete. If you choose to close, we’ll still run a check 24 hours from the time you add your email domain.
