Provider-specific notes for Wix

  • Wix manages DNS for domains registered through them. You can add TXT records directly in the Wix Dashboard under Settings → Domains → DNS Records.
  • If your domain uses external DNS, Wix cannot auto-publish DKIM. You must copy the records Wix provides and add them in your registrar's DNS panel.
  • Wix Dashboard → Settings → Domains → DNS Records.

What you’ll need

  • Access to Wix to generate a DKIM key and selector.
  • DNS provider access to publish a TXT record at selector._domainkey.

Generate your DKIM key

In Wix, generate a DKIM key and note the selector. Providers often suggest something like dkim (published automatically for Wix Email).

Wix Dashboard → Settings → Domains → DNS Records.

Publish the record

  1. Create a TXT record at host selector._domainkey (replace selector with your actual selector name).
  2. Paste the full value starting with v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p= and save.
  3. Wait for DNS propagation.

Verify DKIM

  • Send a test email to a Gmail address and use “Show original” to confirm “DKIM: PASS”.
  • Or run:
    dig TXT selector._domainkey.yourdomain.com +short

Common mistakes

  • Using the wrong host so the record becomes selector._domainkey.yourdomain.com.yourdomain.com.
  • Breaking the value by wrapping or truncating the TXT string.
  • Publishing a record for the wrong selector and then validating on another.

Pro tip: Turn on InboxGreen Monitoring to check these records daily and get alerts if something breaks.
