Add Your Google Workspace Domain To Emails & Automations
Melissa
Last Update 3 years ago
To start sending emails in the Emails & Automations section, you need to connect your purchased email domain from Google Workspace.
Open Emails & Automations ➡ Settings ➡ Add Domain.
Enter your domain name eg. yourdomain.com.
Your domain status will show as Pending. Click on the settings icon and show your DNS records as shown below.
You will be provided with the TXT and CNAME records to add to your Google Workspace DNS settings on your Google Workspace account.
For ease, use the "Copy" option on the right of each record and simply paste the records on your Google Workspace account.
Sign in to Google Domains (click this link)
Select the name of your domain.
At the top left, click Menu and then DNS.
At the top of the page, confirm that the Google Domains tab is set to "Google Domains (Active)." If the Custom tab is set to "Custom (Active)," you use custom name servers and must configure resource records with your name server provider.
Under “Resource records,” click Custom records and then Manage custom records.
In the grey boxed area, add the field values shared with you on CCK.
If you struggle to add these records to your Google Workspace domain, we recommend that you log a ticket with the Google team here.
It might take some time for the DNS records to update after adding them so check again in 30 minutes and in most cases it should be showing as 'Verified' in green.
Once your domain has been added, you can add your company details as well as your default system email address and the email address you plan to use for your regular emails. You can use the same email address for both instances, or 2 separate emails.
