The next step is to connect the domain to beehiiv. <\/p>\n

<\/figure>\nIn the next step, you will get an option with A and CNAME records that need to be updated in your domain settings with your domain registrar.<\/p>\n
A better option is to use verify with the Entri option, which will automatically update the records for you.

<\/figure>\nOnce you authenticate your domain registrar with Entri, it will automatically update the DNS records.<\/p>\n
Once configured, click the verify button in Beehiiv to verify the connection. <\/p>\n
