Domains overview

Buying a domain
Search for an available domain and buy it in LeadTrain for 5,000 credits. Buying needs a paid plan. The domain is registered for a year and its DNS records are set up for you.
Connecting your own domain
Enter a domain you own, and LeadTrain gives you nameservers to set at your registrar. The change usually shows within an hour and can take up to 48 hours. LeadTrain then sets up the DNS records.
DNS records
LeadTrain sets up SPF, three DKIM CNAME records for Amazon SES, DMARC, and MX so that replies reach you. The subdomain i.yourdomain.com is the envelope (MAIL FROM) domain, where bounces go. Your emails go out From the address on your own domain.
