Configuring MX (Mail Exchange) records for Google Workspace is essential to ensure that your domain can send and receive emails via Gmail. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to set it up:

Step 1: Sign in to Your Domain Provider Go to the website where you registered your domain (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, Bluehost, Cloudflare, etc.) and log in to your account.

Step 2: Locate the DNS Settings Look for a section called "DNS Management", "DNS Settings", or "Name Server Management". You should see a list of DNS records (A, CNAME, TXT, MX, etc.). Step 3: Delete Existing MX Records If any existing MX records are present, delete them to avoid conflicts.

Step 4: Add Google’s MX Records Now, add the following Google MX records one by one:

Priority Mail Server 1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM 5 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM 5 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM 10 ALT3.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM 10 ALT4.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM

When adding each MX record, ensure: Priority: Matches the values in the table (lower values have higher priority).

1. Host/Name: Often @ or left blank, depending on your provider.
2. Type: Select MX.
3. TTL (Time to Live): Set to 3600 (or use the default).

Step 5: Save the Changes Click Save or Apply Changes in your domain provider’s dashboard.

Step 6: Verify the Setup in Google Workspace Go to Google Admin Console (admin.google.com). Navigate to Apps > Google Workspace > Gmail. Click on "Check MX Records" to confirm the setup. Step 7: Wait for DNS Propagation It may take a few minutes to 48 hours for changes to take effect. Once complete, your emails will start flowing through Gmail in Google Workspace!
