How to Create a DNS BIMI record
In order for the VMC to work properly, a DNS record needs to be created. This record must be created for every domain or subdomain where the VMC or logo is intended to propagate.
Add a DNS TXT record
- Sign in to your DNS provider’s management portal.
- Create a new record and set the record type to TXT.
- In the Host (or Name) field, enter: default._bimi.[yourdomain.com]
- In the Value field, enter: v=BIMI1; l=[URL of your logo]; a=[URL of your certificate]
- Set the TTL to 1 hour (or 3600 seconds, depending on your provider).
- Save the record.
- You might need to wait up to 48 hours for the record to fully propagate across the DNS system.
