Records to create
Section titled “Records to create”Take the exact values from the records array of your domain (dashboard, API or spacepost domains doctor acme.com). The shape is always:

Three CNAMEs, one per token |

Google Domains was transferred to Squarespace Domains. The DNS screen is similar.
- Sign in at domains.squarespace.com, select your domain and open DNS then DNS Settings.
- Under Custom records, click Add record.
- Host: the relative name (
a1b2c3d4e5f6._domainkey,send,_dmarc). - Choose Type (CNAME, MX or TXT), fill Data; for MX also Priority
10. - Save. Records apply within minutes.
Make sure the domain uses Squarespace nameservers (the default). If you pointed it at another DNS host, add the records there.
For a domain you manage in Google Cloud DNS, use gcloud dns record-sets create with the same names, types and values.
After saving, run spacepost domains doctor acme.com or call POST /domains/{id}/verify. If it does not verify, see Troubleshooting.
