Templates let you save and reuse common sets of DNS records, so you don’t need to start from scratch each time you create a request.
They help you work faster, stay consistent, and reduce mistakes across projects or clients.
Why use templates
Templates are ideal when you regularly create similar DNS setups — for example:
- Adding email records like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC
- Setting up CDN or hosting configurations
- Creating development or staging subdomains
- Standardizing DNS for multiple client domains
Each template can include as many DNS records as you need, with predefined types, names, and values.
How templates work
- You create a template once with a list of DNS records.
- When creating a new DNS request, you can apply that template.
- The records are automatically filled in, ready to review or adjust for that domain.
- Templates don’t change existing requests — updates only affect new ones.
Benefits
Using templates helps you:
- Save time – no need to manually re-enter records.
- Ensure consistency – every request starts from the same reliable base.
- Reduce errors – avoid typos and missing fields.
- Simplify collaboration – teams share standardized setups.
When not to use templates
Templates work best for repeatable configurations.
If your DNS setup is one-off, highly customized, or domain-specific (like unique TXT verifications), it’s usually faster to create those records directly in the request.
