Editing Domains and domain alignment (section)

== Step-by-Step Instructions ==
### Step 1: Understanding Domain Types
Before proceeding to configure domain alignment, it’s crucial to understand the types of domains used in ActiveCampaign:
- **From Address Domain**: This is the visible domain in the From address that subscribers see. It's crucial for tracking your brand reputation.
- **Return Path Domain**: Hiding from subscribers, it ensures delivery and handles bounce notifications.
- **DKIM Domain**: This is the domain used to sign your messages cryptographically, helping with verification upon delivery.
- **Custom Link Tracking Domain**: This domain is used when tracking link clicks in your emails.
  
### Step 2: Configuring Your Domains
To align your domains in ActiveCampaign, you will need to follow these steps:

1. **Set up a Sending Domain**:
   - Go to the '''Domains''' section in the settings.
   - Click on '''Add Sender Domain'''.
   - Enter your domain name that you want to set as the From address.
   - Follow the prompts to verify your ownership of the domain.

2. **Configure the Return Path Domain**:
   - You need to either set up a custom Return Path domain or allow ActiveCampaign to use its domain.
   - For custom Return Path, set up a '''CNAME''' record pointing back to ActiveCampaign as per the guidelines in the configuration prompts.

3. **Set Up DKIM**:
   - Follow the instructions to set up DKIM while you're configuring your sending domain.
   - ActiveCampaign will use your domain for DKIM signing if properly configured.

4. **Manage Link Tracking Domains** (optional):
   - If you are on a Marketing Enterprise plan, you can set up a custom link tracking domain for better alignment and white labeling.
  
5. **Check Domain Alignment**:
   - Once you have set up these domains, ensure that your DKIM and Return Path domains are aligned with your From Address domain for DMARC purposes.
