Does anyone know an easy way to update DNS records for emails?

Question

I want to simplify the onboarding process for providing custom domain emails with Zapmail. The technical setup in terms of updating the DNS records on a client's end can be confusing.

Please share any methods I can use.

Most of the companies sharing their records with clients so they can update it alone. You can see which registrars are mostly used by your customers and than check for their API for programmatic DNS update as Julien mentioned already.

Most registrars have an API now and you could connect to it to update the DNS settings programatically

Sure do. It's mostly about adjusting MX records within your domain provider's settings.

Right now it's us sharing the records to the client and asking them to update on their servers, and helping them out over a call if needed.
