Adding MX Records for Google Workspace

Google Workspace requires proper MX records configuration to send and receive emails through your domain. Here's a comprehensive guide to set up your MX records correctly.

Checking Existing MX Records

First, verify if your domain already has the correct MX records:

• Access your domain panel
• Select your domain
• Navigate to DNS settings
• Look for Google Workspace DNS records

You should see either five separate MX records or a single consolidated record:

Adding MX Records

For Squarespace-managed domains:

For third-party domains:

1. Access your domain's DNS settings
2. Add MX records manually following Google's documentation
3. Verify records are properly configured

For Subdomains:

1. Add a single MX record
2. Host: Enter subdomain name
3. Type: MX
4. Priority: 10
