From this time, both companies have required bulk senders to authenticate their email domains. This means that starting February 2024, it is **mandatory to authenticate your domain in Prowly in order to continue sending emails through our platform**. For detailed instructions on how to authenticate your domain in Prowly, please refer to our [Help Center article](https://help.prowly.com/domain-authentication?hsLang=en). There are 4 steps of email creation in **Prowly,** and the **Send** step is the final one. If you cannot proceed from any of the steps, it clearly means there are critical errors in your email that have to be fixed before going to distribution. Pay attention to the right-hand side of the email creator for suggestions and revisions. Issues highlighted in **red** should be solved before proceeding. We also recommend addressing **yellow** suggestions for improvement, though they are not mandatory. Lastly, **green** checkmarks indicate points that have already been successfully completed. Clicking the button next to a specific error will immediately allow you to fix the problem or will take you to the place in the email creator where it can be fixed: ![emails review errors and suggestions](https://help.prowly.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Help/Emails/emails%20review%20errors%20and%20suggestions.png?width=688&name=emails%20review%20errors%20and%20suggestions.png) When Errors are done, they will receive green indicators, which means you're ready to move on. - [Write press releases](https://help.prowly.com/write-press-releases?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Guide to creating press releases with Prowly](https://help.prowly.com/write-press-releases?hsLang=en#guide-to-creating-press-releases-with-prowly) - [Writing and enriching press releases](https://help.prowly.com/write-press-releases?hsLang=en#writing-and-enriching-press-releases) - [Changing press release settings](https://help.prowly.com/write-press-releases?hsLang=en#changing-press-release-settings) - [Optimize newsroom](https://help.prowly.com/optimize-newsroom?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Newsroom configuration](https://help.prowly.com/optimize-newsroom?hsLang=en#newsroom-configuration) - [Adding and managing newsroom content](https://help.prowly.com/optimize-newsroom?hsLang=en#adding-and-managing-newsroom-content) - [Storing files and visuals](https://help.prowly.com/optimize-newsroom?hsLang=en#storing-files-and-visuals) - [Manage contacts](https://help.prowly.com/manage-contacts?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Using PR CRM](https://help.prowly.com/manage-contacts?hsLang=en#using-pr-crm) - [Managing contacts](https://help.prowly.com/manage-contacts?hsLang=en#managing-contacts) - [Protecting personal data](https://help.prowly.com/manage-contacts?hsLang=en#protecting-personal-data) - [Tags](https://help.prowly.com/manage-contacts?hsLang=en#tags) - [Send email pitches](https://help.prowly.com/send-email-pitches?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Guide to sending email pitches](https://help.prowly.com/send-email-pitches?hsLang=en#guide-to-sending-email-pitches) - [Verifying email addresses](https://help.prowly.com/send-email-pitches?hsLang=en#verifying-email-addresses) - [Creating new email](https://help.prowly.com/send-email-pitches?hsLang=en#creating-new-email) - [Optimizing recipient lists](https://help.prowly.com/send-email-pitches?hsLang=en#optimizing-recipient-lists) - [Writing email content](https://help.prowly.com/send-email-pitches?hsLang=en#writing-email-content) - [Sending emails](https://help.prowly.com/send-email-pitches?hsLang=en#sending-emails) - [Email academy](https://help.prowly.com/send-email-pitches?hsLang=en#email-academy) - [Domain authentication](https://help.prowly.com/send-email-pitches?hsLang=en#domain-authentication) - [Find new media contacts](https://help.prowly.com/find-new-media-contacts?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Guide to finding new media contacts with Prowly](https://help.prowly.com/find-new-media-contacts?hsLang=en#guide-to-finding-new-media-contacts-with-prowly) - [Using Media Database](https://help.prowly.com/find-new-media-contacts?hsLang=en#using-media-database) - [Contact and export limits](https://help.prowly.com/find-new-media-contacts?hsLang=en#contact-and-export-limits) - [Media Monitoring](https://help.prowly.com/media-monitoring?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Guide to Media Monitoring](https://help.prowly.com/media-monitoring?hsLang=en#guide-to-media-monitoring) - [Browsing and filtering articles](https://help.prowly.com/media-monitoring?hsLang=en#browsing-and-filtering-articles) - [Dashboards and widgets](https://help.prowly.com/media-monitoring?hsLang=en#dashboards-and-widgets) - [Email notifications](https://help.prowly.com/media-monitoring?hsLang=en#email-notifications) - [Analyze PR performance](https://help.prowly.com/analyze-pr-performance?hsLang=en) - [Manage your account](https://help.prowly.com/manage-your-account?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Security and legal](https://help.prowly.com/manage-your-account?hsLang=en#security-and-legal) - [Connected inbox](https://help.prowly.com/manage-your-account?hsLang=en#connected-inbox) - [Subscription and payments](https://help.prowly.com/manage-your-account?hsLang=en#subscription-and-payments) - [Teamwork](https://help.prowly.com/manage-your-account?hsLang=en#teamwork) - [PR Reports](https://help.prowly.com/pr-reports?hsLang=en) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://help.prowly.com/hubfs/prowly-logo-3.svg "Chill listening crop-3")](https://help.prowly.com/?hsLang=en) Help Center Copyright © 2026, Prowly | part of Semrush Inc.
