Domain Connect Provider Submission Guide

Use this checklist after the inbound email Domain Connect implementation is ready for provider review.

Shared Preparation

• Confirm the final template identity: providerId novu.co, serviceId inbound-email, provider name Novu, and service name Inbound Email.
• Confirm the production dashboard redirect domain in syncRedirectDomain.
• Publish the RSA public key TXT record at _dck1.domainconnect.novu.co.
• Store the matching private key in production secret management as DOMAIN_CONNECT_PRIVATE_KEY.
• Submit domain-connect/novu.co.inbound-email.json to the public Domain Connect templates repository and run the Domain Connect linter before opening the PR.

Cloudflare Submission

Email [email protected] with:

• The public template link or PR link.
• providerId novu.co and serviceId inbound-email.
• Fully qualified public key TXT hostname.
• Novu SVG logo.
• Proxy preference: not applicable for MX records.
• Optional Cloudflare account ID for restricted testing.

Before sending, verify that Cloudflare apply URLs are signed, sig is the final query parameter, and the public key TXT records resolve publicly.

Vercel Submission

Email [email protected] with:

• The public template link.
• A short product video showing Novu domain setup, Vercel consent, return to Novu, and connected confirmation.
• providerId, serviceId, redirect domain, and public key TXT hostname.
• Confirmation that apply requests are signed with RSA-SHA256.

Before sending, verify that a Vercel-managed test domain returns urlSyncUX from https://domainconnect.vercel.com/v2/{domain}/settings and that Vercel's template support endpoint returns 200.

Launch Verification

• Cloudflare and Vercel have confirmed onboarding.
• Test domains for both providers can complete consent and create the MX record.
• Novu detects the provider, shows the auto-configure CTA, redirects to consent, returns to the domain detail page, and shows the connected confirmation after MX verification.
• Manual MX setup remains available for unsupported providers, provider cancellation, template errors, and signature errors.
