AI-generated summary

After adding a domain to Resend, it remained in a verification state for five days. The user discovered in the official documentation that there was a small note in another section explaining the issue. The user needed to omit the domain from the record values when pasting them in Resend. Instead of including the full domain, only the subdomain should be added. The same applies to subdomains and subdomain-specific records. The user concludes that it is important to read the manual and not blindly trust the provided information.

After adding the domain to resend, it has been in a verification state. I waited for five days and couldn't bear it. I looked at the official documentation and found a small note in another place. Dizzy.

Goal#

Add a domain to successfully send emails.

Process#

Directly copy the prompted fields to the DNS service provider for adding.
Found that it didn't take effect for a long time.
Check the official documentation and found the pit.
Fill it in correctly.

Omit your domain from the record values in Resend when you paste.
Instead of bounces.example.com, paste only bounces
(or bounces.subdomain if you’re using a subdomain).

This means that you only need to add bounces.subdomain, not bounces.subdomain.domain.

Omit your domain from the record values in Resend when you paste.
Instead of resend._domainkey.example.com, paste only resend._domainkey
(or resend._domainkey.subdomain if you’re using a subdomain).

No need to include the subdomain in the field anymore.

Summary#

RTFM read the fuxking manual is indeed the truth 😁
Don't blindly trust the information provided.
