📥 Add "Export DNS Zone File" Button for Instant Bulk Email Subdomain Setup (Fixes Domain Connect Loops)

We need a native "Export BIND Zone File" button inside the Email Services (Dedicated Domain) dashboard.
When creating a dedicated email subdomain, instead of being forced into a looping third-party API handshake or being forced to manually copy and paste 5 to 6 individual records (MX, TXT, CNAME) one by one, GoHighLevel should generate a single, standard .txt or .zone BIND file.
Agency owners can then download this single file and upload it directly into their DNS manager (Cloudflare, Namecheap, etc.) using native import tools, deploying all required infrastructure instantly in two clicks.
The Problem It Solves (For New Agency Owners):
When you set up a dedicated email subdomain for a client (like ://clientdomain.com), GoHighLevel requires you to add several technical DNS records (typically 2 MX records, 2 TXT records for SPF/DKIM authentication, and 1 CNAME for tracking). Currently, GHL relies on "Domain Connect" to do this automatically. However, this API automation frequently fails, crashes, or loops, leaving you stuck. When it breaks, you have to do robotic, mind-numbing data entry—copying the "Type," the "Name," and the "Value" for 6 different records. If you are onboarding multiple clients or setting up multiple sending subdomains, you are copying and pasting dozens of times. This takes forever and makes it incredibly easy to make a small typo that breaks your client's email delivery entirely.
Why This is a Game-Changer (The Use Case):
Bypasses API Failure Loops: If the Cloudflare or GoDaddy Domain Connect integration experiences a service lag, handshake drop, or security block, agencies are not left stranded. A zone file bypasses the automated bridge entirely.
Support for ALL Registrars (Not Just the Big Players): Domain Connect only works with a few major providers like Cloudflare and GoDaddy. If a client uses Namecheap, Hostinger, Squarespace, or a local regional registrar, you have always been forced to do manual entry. Almost every major registrar on earth supports standard BIND Zone File imports. This feature extends bulk-setup speed to 100% of registrars.
Flawless Virtual Assistant (VA) Delegation: Instead of giving a VA or a client access to sensitive account configurations or risking copy-paste errors, an agency can simply hand them a single file to click "Import." Zero margin for human error.
How to cast your vote:
If you want to save hours of manual data entry, eliminate onboarding bottlenecks, and ensure your client email setups are 100% accurate every single time regardless of what DNS provider they use, please upvote this feature request!
