Using DKIM and SPF to Protect Zendesk Surveys

Learn how DKIM and SPF email authentication protocols can help protect your Zendesk surveys from false bad ratings.

What are DKIM and SPF, and how do they help with Zendesk surveys?

DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) and SPF (Sender Policy Framework) are email authentication protocols that help ensure the legitimacy of your emails. By enabling these protocols, you can reduce the likelihood of your Zendesk survey emails being flagged for inspection by link expanders.

When DKIM and SPF are set up, they help verify that your emails are genuinely from your domain, which can prevent link expanders from automatically clicking on the links in your survey emails, thus reducing false bad ratings.
