# Quickstart

Connect your application and send a first email.

## Prepare your account

[Create account](https://usesendy.com/signup)

1.  ### Add a sending domain
    
    Open [Domains](https://usesendy.com/domains) and add a domain you control. Sending-account setup runs in the background.
    
2.  ### Publish the DNS records
    
    Copy the records from your domain page to your DNS provider. Keep them published and wait for **Verified**. Progress updates automatically.
    
3.  ### Create an API key
    
    Create a key in [API keys](https://usesendy.com/keys). Copy the full value when it appears; it is shown only once. Keep it on your application server.
    

If a domain needs approval or belongs to another account, contact support.
