How to autoconfigure a Scaleway domain with Transactional Email

With Scaleway domains, you can now benefit from automatic DNS record creation and updates (autoconfiguration) for domains already registered with the Transactional Email service. Automatic configuration of your DNS zone streamlines the setup of your domain for Transactional Email, allowing you to focus on sending emails and tracking traffic without manual configuration delays.

You can enable autoconfiguration directly from the Scaleway console (see instructions below), through the Transactional Email API, or via Terraform using the autoconfig parameter (bool).

Before you start

To complete the actions presented below, you must have:

• A Scaleway account logged into the console
• Owner status or IAM permissions allowing you to perform actions in the intended Organization
• A domain name registered with Scaleway Domains and DNS
