Confirm the account and back up DNS

Sign in to the Google Admin console as an administrator. Complete the DNS backup guide before adding or replacing records.Open Google AdminExternal · opens new tab ↗Back Up Your DNSSaaSTech guide →

02

Verify domain ownership

In Account → Domains → Manage domains, start verification. Add the unique TXT value Google provides (usually beginning google-site-verification=), then return to Google and select Verify. Verification itself does not change your website or email.Google domain verification helpExternal · opens new tab ↗Add a TXT record in SaaSTech DNSExternal · opens new tab ↗

03

Prepare every mailbox

Create users, aliases, groups, and routing rules before changing MX. Confirm that every address currently receiving mail has a destination in Google Workspace.

04

Route mail to Google

In DNS, remove old or incorrect MX records only when the mail cutover is approved. Add the current Google MX record shown below, save it, then activate Gmail in the Admin console.Google MX setup helpExternal · opens new tab ↗Add an MX record in SaaSTech DNSExternal · opens new tab ↗

05

Authenticate outgoing mail

Publish one SPF record that includes every legitimate sender. Generate DKIM in Apps → Google Workspace → Gmail → Authenticate email, publish Google’s unique TXT key, then start authentication. Add DMARC after SPF and DKIM are passing.Google SPF helpExternal · opens new tab ↗Google DKIM helpExternal · opens new tab ↗Add a TXT record in SaaSTech DNSExternal · opens new tab ↗

Test and monitor

Send mail to and from an external account, inspect message authentication results, confirm aliases and groups, and monitor through the previous TTL period. DNS recognition can take time, so avoid repeated edits.Check mail records with MXToolboxExternal · opens new tab ↗

CURRENT GOOGLE MAIL RECORD

MX record for new setups

TypeHostPriorityDestinationTTL
MX@ or blank1smtp.google.comProvider default

Some DNS providers require a trailing period. Older working Google Workspace accounts may use legacy ASPMX records; Google says they remain supported, so do not replace a working configuration merely to modernize it.

SPF

One record only

v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all

Use this only when Google is the sole sender. Merge other legitimate senders into the existing SPF record; never create a second SPF record.

DKIM

Unique to your domain

google._domainkey

Copy the full host and value generated in your Admin console. After publishing, return to Google and start authentication.
