Using a > subdomain allows for proper reputation segmentation based on topics or purpose > (e.g. marketing) and is especially important if receiving emails with Resend. ## Log in to Squarespace Log in to your [Squarespace domains page](https://account.squarespace.com/domains) and click on your domain. ![Domain Details](https://mintcdn.com/resend/OWNnQaVDyqcGyhhN/images/squarespace-domains-main.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=OWNnQaVDyqcGyhhN\&q=85\&s=8362f1932f033cb983149883a9a459b6) ## Add MX SPF Record Scroll down to the **Custom records** section and select `Add record` on Squarespace. 1. Type `send` for the `Host` of the record. 2. Set the `Type` to `MX`. 3. Set the `Priority` to `10`. 4. Use the Default 4 hours for `TTL`. 5.

Instead of > `send.example.com`, paste only `send` (or `send.subdomain` if you're using a > subdomain). > [!NOTE] > > Do not use the same priority for multiple records. If Priority `10` is already > in use, try a higher value `20` or `30`. ## Add TXT SPF Record In the same **Custom records** section, select `Add Record` on Squarespace. 1. Type `send` for the `Host` of the record. 2. Set the `Type` to `TXT`. 3. Use the Default 4 hours for `TTL`. 4. Copy the TXT Value from Resend into the `Text` field 5. Select `Save`.

Instead of > `resend._domainkey.example.com`, paste only `resend._domainkey` (or > `resend._domainkey.subdomain` if you're using a subdomain). ## Receiving Emails If you want to receive emails at your domain, toggle the "Receiving" switch on the domain details page. ![Enable Receiving Emails for a verified domain](https://mintcdn.com/resend/B7wTVm7aKL5pNT-6/images/inbound-domain-toggle.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=B7wTVm7aKL5pNT-6\&q=85\&s=46f6b4c142fb90e04b57861e338ed2d0) > [!WARNING] > > When you enable Inbound on a domain, Resend receives *all emails* sent to that > specific domain depending on the priority of the MX record. For this reason, > we strongly recommend verifying a subdomain (`subdomain.example.com`) instead > of the root domain (`example.com`). Learn more about [avoiding conflicts with > your existing MX > records](/docs/knowledge-base/how-do-i-avoid-conflicting-with-my-mx-records). > [!NOTE] > > Always copy the MX record value shown on your domain's page in Resend. The > values in this guide are examples. Depending on your domain you will see > `receive.forge.rmta.net`, a regional variant such as > `receive-euw1.forge.rmta.net`, or `inbound-smtp..amazonaws.com`. Scroll down to the **Custom records** section and select `Add record` on Squarespace: 1. Type `inbound` (or whatever your subdomain is) for the `Host` of the record. 2. Set the `Type` to `MX`. 3. Set the `Priority` to `10`. 4. Use the Default 4 hours for `TTL`. 5. Copy the MX Value from Resend into the `Mail Server` field. 6. Select `Save`. Below is a mapping of the record fields from Resend to Squarespace: | Squarespace | Resend | Example Value | | - | - | - | | Type | Type | `MX` | | Host | Name | `inbound` | | TTL | TTL | `4 hrs` (default) | | Mail Server | Content | `inbound-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com` | | Priority | Priority | `10` | After verifying your domain, create a webhook to process incoming emails. For help setting up a webhook, how to access email data and attachments, forward emails, and more, see [our guide on receiving emails with Resend](/docs/dashboard/receiving/introduction). ## Complete Verification Now click [Verify DNS Records](https://resend.com/domains) on your Domain in Resend. It may take up to 72 hours to complete the verification process (often much faster). ## Troubleshooting If your domain is not successfully verified, these are some common troubleshooting methods. > **Resend shows my domain verification failed.** > > Review the records you added to Squarespace to rule out copy and paste errors. > **It has been longer than 72 hours and my domain is still Pending.** > > [Review our guide on a domain not verifying](/docs/knowledge-base/what-if-my-domain-is-not-verifying).
