Google Domains
Verify your domain on Google Domains with Resend.
Add Domain to Resend
Login to your Resend Account and add a domain.
It is a best practice to use a subdomain (updates.example.com) instead of the root domain (example.com). This allows for proper reputation segmentation based on topics or purpose (e.g. transactional and marketing).
Login to Google Domains
Login to your Google Domains account and go to the DNS settings of your domain.
Add MX SPF Record
Click “Create new record” on Google Domains.
Add the MX Record from your domain in Resend to Google Domains and click “Save”.
Below is a mapping of the record fields from Resend to Google Domains:
| Google Domains | Resend | Example Value |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Type | MX |
| Host Name | Name | send |
| TTL | - | 3600 (default) |
| Data | Value | 10 feedback-smtp.us-east-1.amazonses.com |
Omit your domain from the record values in Resend when you paste. Instead of
send.example.com, paste only send (or send.subdomain if you’re using a
subdomain).
Google Domain does not have a dedicated priority column so you need to add it to the Data field (10 ). See example below.
Also, do not use the same priority for multiple records. If Priority 10 is already in use, try a number slightly higher like 11 or 12.
Example: 12 feedback-smtp.us-east-1.amazonses.com
