Wix DNS configuration

If your domain is hosted with Wix, you can follow the below steps to configure DKIM and CNAME records for ZeptoMail. It may take 24-48 hours for the records to be published in the DNS. So your domain will not be verified until that time and you will not be able to send any emails using your domain.
