How to get an email in Google workspace from my Squarespace website?

To get an email in Google Workspace from your Squarespace website, follow these steps:

1. Purchase a Domain or Use an Existing Domain

   • Ensure your Squarespace website uses a custom domain (either purchased through Squarespace or a third-party registrar).

2. Set Up Google Workspace

   • Sign up for Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) using the domain you want to use for email.

   • Complete the registration and billing setup as required by Google.

3. Verify Domain Ownership

   • Google Workspace requires domain verification.

   • Login to Squarespace, go to Settings > Domains, select your domain.

   • Copy the TXT record provided by Google Workspace verification setup.

   • In Squarespace, add this TXT record under DNS Settings for your domain.

   • After adding, return to Google Workspace and verify the domain.

4. Configure MX Records in Squarespace

   • While still in Squarespace’s DNS Settings, delete existing MX records if any.

   • Add the Google Workspace MX records:

     • Priority: 1, Server: ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM

     • Priority: 5, Server: ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM

     • Priority: 5, Server: ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM

     • Priority: 10, Server: ALT3.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM

     • Priority: 10, Server: ALT4.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM

   • Save changes.

5. Wait for DNS Propagation

   • DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes up to 48 hours.

   • Use tools like DNS checker to confirm MX records point to Google.

6. Access Your Email

   • Once MX records propagate, you can access email via Google Workspace at mail.google.com using your domain-based email address.

7. Test Email

   • Send and receive test emails to confirm the setup works properly.

This setup links your Squarespace domain email to Google Workspace, enabling professional email hosting with Gmail’s interface and tools.
