1. Google Workspace SPF Setup

To authorize Google Workspace hosts to send emails on behalf of your domain, you need to:


1. Log in to your domain's DNS dashboard;


2. Go to the page where you can update the DNS settings on that domain;


3. Check if a TXT record starting with v=spf1 already exists; if so, the domain already has an SPF record and you need to update it; otherwise, you need to create an SPF record;


For adding Google Workspace to existing SPF record include:_spf.google.com

2. Google Workspace DKIM Setup


Follow the steps below to set up DKIM authentication in Google Workspace:


1. Navigate to Google Admin Console, and log in:



2. Click on Apps to go to App Settings:



3. Go to Google Workspace Core Services:



4. Click on Gmail:



5. Click on Authenticate email:



  • Click on the GENERATE NEW RECORD button to generate a new DKIM record;
  • Publish the DKIM record in the DNS; DNS propagation might take up to 1 hour before the record becomes accessible;
