When you purchase a domain from Squarespace and email services from Google Workspace, you\u2019ll need to configure your domain to work with Google Workspace services such as Gmail. Follow these steps to set up your Squarespace domain with Google Workspace, ensuring everything from MX to DMARC records is correctly configured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Verify Your Domain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Log into your Google Admin<\/strong> console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Go to Domains<\/strong> and select Add domain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Enter your Squarespace domain<\/strong> and select it as a Secondary domain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 In Squarespace<\/strong>, navigate to Domain Settings<\/strong> and choose Edit DNS<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 In the Squarespace DNS settings<\/strong>, create a TXT record<\/strong> for domain verification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Once verified, Google will automatically proceed to the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Activate Gmail<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 On your Google Admin page, click Activate Gmail<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Copy the MX records<\/strong> provided by Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Return to Squarespace DNS settings<\/strong> and create new MX records<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Confirm the changes after adding the records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Add SPF Record<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help prevent your emails from being marked as spam, configure the SPF (Sender Policy Framework) record:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 In Squarespace DNS settings<\/strong>, create a new TXT record<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Enter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Host<\/strong>: @<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Value<\/strong>: v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Click Save<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Set Up DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To prevent email spoofing, set up DKIM:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 In Google Workspace, go to Gmail<\/strong> and select Authenticate Email<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Generate a new DKIM record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Copy the Hostname<\/strong> and Value<\/strong> provided by Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Add this as a TXT record<\/strong> in your Squarespace DNS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 After 30 minutes to 48 hours, go back to Google Workspace and click Start Authentication<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5: Configure DMARC Record<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DMARC helps you monitor and enforce email authentication:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 In Squarespace DNS<\/strong>, create a new TXT record<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Enter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Host<\/strong>: _dmarc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Value<\/strong>: v=DMARC1; p=none; pct=100; rua=mailto:your_email@example.com;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Click Save<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By following these steps, your Squarespace domain will be fully integrated with Google Workspace, ensuring email functionality is optimized and secure with proper SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records in place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When you purchase a domain from Squarespace and email services from Google Workspace, you\u2019ll need to configure
