How to onboard your first domain

Add a domain to Infraova, run the initial health scan, and understand what the results mean.

BusinessAgency·5 min read

The situation

Before Infraova can monitor a domain, it needs to be added and scanned. The initial scan establishes a baseline — what the DNS configuration looks like, which checks pass, and which issues need attention.

Before you begin

The domain name you want to monitor
Access to your Infraova account
Optionally: access to the DNS provider for that domain

For agencies: When onboarding a client domain, confirm the domain name and any relevant DNS provider details with the client before running the first scan.

The operational path

01Add domain
02Run scan
03Review results
04Prioritize issues
05Monitor

The goal isn't just to find the error. The goal is to move from detection to a verified infrastructure state.

Step by step

01Add the domain

Enter the domain name in Infraova. You can add a single domain or import multiple domains via CSV or DNS provider connection.

What to check

✓Navigate to your Infraova dashboard
✓Select Add domain or Import domains
✓Enter the domain name (e.g. example.com)
✓Assign the domain to the correct client if managing a portfolio

Expected result: The domain appears in your dashboard and is queued for its first scan.

02Run the initial scan

Infraova scans the domain across all monitored checks — DNS records, authentication configuration, SSL, blacklists, and more.

What to check

✓Trigger the scan from the domain detail view
✓Wait for the scan to complete (typically under 60 seconds)
✓Review the overall health score
✓Note which checks passed and which flagged issues

Expected result: You now have a complete picture of the domain's current infrastructure state.

With Infraova

Infraova runs 30+ checks per domain covering DNS, authentication, SSL, reputation, and sending configuration.

03Review and prioritize

Review the scan results and determine which issues require immediate attention. Not every flagged item is equally urgent.

What to check

✓Review issues by severity (Critical, High, Medium, Informational)
✓Identify any Critical issues affecting email deliverability
✓Note issues that require DNS provider access to fix
✓Confirm which issues are expected vs unexpected

With Infraova

Infraova prioritizes issues by severity so your team knows which problems deserve immediate attention.

04Enable continuous monitoring

Once the baseline is established, Infraova monitors the domain continuously — detecting changes and new issues as they appear.

What to check

✓Confirm monitoring is active for the domain
✓Configure alert email or Slack notification
✓Optionally connect the DNS provider to enable automated remediation

Expected result: The domain is now monitored continuously.

You decide. Infraova executes.

Infraova can propose and execute an approved infrastructure change, but it does not independently decide to modify client infrastructure. Every proposed change requires explicit authorization before execution.

Key takeaway

Onboarding a domain takes minutes. The first scan gives you the full infrastructure picture. From there, Infraova monitors continuously so you don't have to.

Turn this playbook into a continuous workflow

Without Infraova

Someone discovers the issue
↓Someone investigates manually
↓Someone decides what to do
↓Someone makes the change
↓Someone checks whether it worked

With Infraova

↓Detect
↓Prioritize
↓Propose
↓Approve
↓Remediate
↓Verify
↓Record

The guide teaches you how to solve the problem once. Infraova keeps watching for it after you're done.
