Researched, not yet run live. Built from the provider’s official pages (linked below). A person hasn’t walked this flow end to end yet, so check each step against the source.

Have ready

  • A domain you control with DNS access (not a free hosting subdomain such as *.vercel.app)
  • DNS access for the sending domain · Loops requires SPF, DKIM and MX records to verify the domain. [1]Needed for: Add the SPF, DKIM and MX records

Steps

Steps marked “human step” are ones only you can do: verapli never signs in, submits, pays or accepts terms for you.

  1. Sign in or create a Loops account

    Sign in to Loops. If you have no account yet, you create it yourself; verapli does not create accounts.

    • Guided by hand
    • Human step: You sign in

    Where: https://app.loops.so/login

  2. Choose your sending domain

    In Settings > Domain enter your sending domain (a subdomain such as mail.yourcompany.com is recommended) and click View records.

    • Guided by hand
    • Human step: You press submit
    • After: Sign in or create a Loops account
    If something goes wrong (1)
    • Domain already in use: A teammate may already have a Loops account for it; request a login link, search for mail from loopsbot@mail.loops.so, or ask to be invited. [1]

    Where: https://app.loops.so/settings

  3. Add the SPF, DKIM and MX records

    Add each record by its Type (TXT, CNAME or MX). The SPF and MX records sit on the envelope subdomain, so they do not clash with your root SPF. Optionally add the DMARC record. Click Verify Records.

    • Guided by hand
    • After: Choose your sending domain
    The provider says
    Records can take up to 72 hours to propagate but usually validate within a few hours to 24 hours. [1]
    If something goes wrong (2)
    • CNAME records don't verify on Cloudflare: Set the CNAME records to DNS only (not proxied). [1]
    • MX entry rejected: Enter the priority before the value (for example "10 feedback-smtp.us-east-1.amazonses.com") where your registrar needs one line. [1]
  4. Generate an API key

    In Settings > API click Generate key and name it. Use a separate key per purpose.

    • Guided by hand
    • Human step: You press submit
    • After: Sign in or create a Loops account

    verapli captures LOOPS_API_KEY here by plain code: encrypted in your browser, never shown to AI.
