### **Configuring DNS Records:**

1. Access your domain provider's panel (e.g., Google Domains, GoDaddy, BlueHost).
2. Go to the DNS settings for your domain, typically found in **Advanced Settings** or **DNS Management**.
3. Create a **TXT** record pointing to *<mark style="color:yellow;">**brevo-code:59091da7198f79c2e12717156b0c3bb7**</mark>* with the host name '**@**'.

{% endhint %}
